[hisairness]

Chris Webber got traded to the 76ers.

This trade will help them a lot.  They now have the best, true PF in the east.

I don't know what they were thinking with this trade...they got three nobody's in this one.

[hisairness]

Something I forgot to add...

They had a poll on yahoo that asked:

"The Kings..."

-Had to trade Webber
-Blew it

It was pretty close, but so far, "Blew It" was winning 75% to 25%.

YES YES YES YES.. o and did i mention YES!

heres the article

Sixers Have C-Webb
Philadelphia acquired five-time All-Star Chris Webber on Wednesday, Feb. 23, in a deal with Sacramento that sent Brian Skinner, Kenny Thomas and Corliss Williamson to the Kings. Philadelphia also acquired forwards Matt Barnes and Michael Bradley.

The deal gives the Sixers some lift as they head into the stretch run tied with the Celtics for the lead in the Atlantic. Webber -- who is averaging 21.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.48 steals per game -- is considered one of the top power forwards in the game.

Philadelphia GM Billy King is also excited about the deal because he thinks it will help the team's talented, young core to grow.

"I think, the way we play, it will allow our young guys to develop more, because now you've got a big guy who can make passes and hit the jump shot," King told Sixers.com.

The Kings, meanwhile, now have a wealth of options up front in Skinner, Thomas and Williamson. Thomas is averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and his hard-nosed, close-to-the-basket style of play should serve as a good complement to Kings frontliners Peja Stojakovic and Brad Miller.

Williamson (10.8 ppg, 3.7 rpg) is one of the most efficient reserves in the game, and is a great scorer in the paint. And while underutilized this season, Skinner is coming off a 2003-04 campaign that saw him average 10.5 points and 7.3 rebounds for Milwaukee, and is still considered a talented, physical presence in the lane.




btw, i dont think kings got that raped, kenny thomas is rather good

[Don Jacob]

ha ha well if the lakers are going to suck at least the kings are going down with them,lol


wow this is going to be interesting in the east now......i predict a sixers Heat eastern conference finals

[white Boy]

^ well u were right about the nfl, so i hope ur right about the sixers

[Don Jacob]

they ain't beating the Heat though...

[7even]

LMAO@'Blew it' being the 2nd option in the poll

anyway overall Im happy for 2 reasons:

West whacker, Dallas >> Sac-Town now
Iverson got a good forward playing besides him now.. and I like Iverson lol

[hisairness]

The Sixers have a good chance of making it to the Eastern Finals now.  But, I do agree that they won't beat the heat.  Some other trades that went down today...

Gary Payton to Atlanta/Antoine Walker back to Boston.  This is funny because Payton's been complaining about not being on a contender and now he goes to the worst team in the league.

Malik Rose and two first round picks to the Knicks/Nazr Mohammed and Jamison Brewer to the Spurs.  S.A. shouldn't have done this.

The Hornets got rid of everybody.
