Chris Webber was the premier free agent in 2001. The Maloof brothers had a billboard offering to mow his lawn if he would re-sign. New York celebrities pleaded with Webber on scoreboard messages to consider the Knicks.

Three years later, Webber is considering his second knee surgery in 12 months. With four years and $80 million remaining on his contract, one general manager said the Webber deal is "the worst in the league."

Hi Matthew:

One of my league sources had said -- in passing -- that Webber was looking at the possibility of another surgery. It was nothing definitive. I have not spoken to Webber.

I've certainly gotten a number of e-mails about it from folks in Sacramento. It should be made clear that there was nothing definitive that was reported in our newspaper.

Hope all is well.

Take care,

That is a relief

That's only a brief blurb about another surgery. Bad news if its true. I'll wait to see another source confirming a second surgery to say I told you so to SacKings and Beb0p...who seemed to think CWebb would be fine and back to his old self in no time...but since it has not been confirmed, I dont believe it.

Cwebb will never be his old self, never again.

Monty is reporting on KHTK that the story is not true, he claims to have spoken to Webber's agent and his Brother. (Big sigh of relief)

Oh trust me, Im a CWebb fan, and I GET IT, but their are other CWEBB fans that don't get it and others that do get it, some just don't like to admit it though.

**Hibachi!** · 08-24-2004, 05:34 PM

I'm not willing to admit it after only one season. If he plays like he did last season however, I will admit that Peja is better... But not just yet...

d_sizzle_16 · 08-24-2004, 06:47 PM

At this stage of webbers career there is no denying that Peja is the better player, and hopefully he will prove it again this season just like he did the last.

LOL. I guess I know when I've gotten under someone's skin when that person remembers things from months ago that even I have forgotten. Yes, I do remember vaguely talking about Webber's recovery sometime last winter, although I don't remember specifically that I said. But it certainly sounds like me to discuss Webber's impact post-surgery. The funny thing is, I remember many Laker fans who agreed with me at the time. If I'm wrong, what the hey, I'm wrong.

Heck, if Webber turns into an overpaid Derrick Coleman, so be it. He is the weakest link in the starting 5 now, so I don't mind him sitting while my homeboy Songaila is playing.

To be honest, I didnt remember who it was that was so adamant...and to be fair I looked back to see who it was. So, you didnt get under my skin that badly.

By now, I'd assume we ALL have learned that it takes at LEAST a year and a half for someone to really recover from serious knee injuries. Doctors always push for a year, but there's that extra half a year plus that players need to build up knee strength as well as confidence to push off the knee like they did before their injury.

I agree wholeheartedly with SacKings384--I'm not ready to give up on CWebb just yet. As much as I'd like to (as a scorn Warriors fan), you can't give up on him just yet. This next year will be huge. Perhaps CWebb recognizes that...and perhaps that's why he's deciding to consider another surgery?

**Peja Vu** · 08-25-2004, 11:33 AM

Webber says knee doing fine

Didn't get under your skin that badly eh? So a little bit then?

If you have the will to dig through months of posts to find my name, hey, power to you.
