Chris Webber Going Back To Golden State

January 28, 2008

Chris Webber is going back to Golden State to reunite with Don Nelson. He will be paid a pro-rated share of the veteran’s minimum salary, meaning he will make about $570,000 for the rest of the season.

A lot of people, including me are curious to see how this move turns out because the Warriors are a fastbreak team. They run down court and throw up quick threes and midrange jumpers. Webber is very, very slow and his addition could affect the Warriors negatively if they try to change their style to include waiting for Webber to get down and dumping the ball in the post.

I guess it is worth a try though because if he hurts the team they can just bench him.
