I dunno what C. Webb's nickname is, but given that he's never really lived up to his potential, I'm going to go ahead and gloss him as 'The Question'.

Looks like a potentially good deal for the 76ers, and a good deal for Sac-Town ONLY if Webber was as much of a pain in the ass as has been indicated. The players they got in return weren't all that impressive, and the net impact on their salary is almost non-existant.

Hopefully Peja will start to play well again.

It's a good move for the 76ers if Webber stays healthy. With Iverson being more of a shooter than passer, having Webber with a great all around game including passing the ball will give them more open looks at the basket.

doesn't AI shoot like 30%?

Yes : ) Getting the ball into Webber's hands to distribute both gives the Sixers a better passer and gives Iverson less opportunities to shoot : )

Allen Iverson is the answer to what is 10/30.

Should help the sixers a lot. The Sixers were clearly in desperate need of someone who can score without dominating the ball and grab rebounds. Webber's presence and passing ability should also drastically help young players like Korver and Iguodola get better looks.

When you add in Rodney Rogers, acquired from the Hornets, the frontcourt depth that the Sixers lost is largely replaced.

Allen Iverson
Andre Iguodola
Kyle Korver
Chris Webber
Samuel Dalembert
Salmons/Green/Mckie/Rogers/Jackson

looks a lot better than

Allen Iverson
Andre Iguodola
Kyle Korver
Kenny Thomas
Samuel Dalembert
Salmons/Green/Mckie/Williamson/Jackson

(and by the way, he's shooting .416)

AI stats:

MPG: 42.2
FG%: .416
3P%: .280
FT%: .817
Off. Reb: 0.8
Def. Reb: 3.2
Tot. Reb: 4.0

Not exactly horrible numbers.

Pretty good gas mileage too!

And people laugh at Q-Rich's 33% 3P%!

I don't. Although that 3 point percentage isn't great, it was never AI's best shot heh.

33 is kind of low compared to the rest of the Suns

45 3P% Joe Johnson
42 3P% Nash
36 3P% Q-Rich (actually Q's percentage has gone up from 33)
34 3P% Marion

JJ and Nash have excellent 3P% by anyone's standards and as a whole, the Suns 3P% isn't too shabby.

Imagine that, you turned a basketball thread into a Suns thread. Fanboi!
