Need One?

Do I want the Pistons to pick up a recently bought out player?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: I can't believe that the short answer is yes given who we are discussing. C. Webb has long held the top spot on my most hated athlete list (if Roger Clemens keeps coming back he has a definite shot at the title).

Last night's disheartening home loss to the Bobcats is a perfect reminder of where this team is at - unmotivated, lethargic, with all sorts of local rumors of dissent behind the scenes. Perhaps a "big name" like C. Webb would mix things up just enough to get things rolling again. Could he contribute and play as a 5th option every night? Could he come up in a clutch moment if they needed him to, something that he never did in Sacto? Maybe, maybe not. But this team really needs a kick in the tail, and this just might work. Something has to change, and change soon before Flip completely loses this crew.

Of course my top choice for option #2 for C. Webb is not the Lake Show, but a 5 year incentive laden guaranteed deal with the NY Knicks. (Also, click on the above photo to link to audio samples from C. Webb's debut album, "2 Much Drama." I couldn't resist.)
