PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- All-Star Chris Webber was traded from Sacramento to the Philadelphia 76ers late Wednesday night as part of a stunning six-player deal.
The Sixers sent Brian Skinner, Kenny Thomas and Corliss Williamson to the Kings for Webber, Matt Barnes and Michael Bradley.
The Sixers called a news conference just before midnight. The deal comes one day before the NBA trading deadline.
And you were right Elton. It did cost us Speedy. Both Speedy and Dale Davis were shipped to New Orleans for Davis.
I would have prefered to lose Fisher... but what the hell.
Baron Davis is a Warrior. And I am a very happy Warrior fan.
Whoa was on the money with that won :D YES! I can't wait to see him play!
Here's the big thing about the deal...
1) we didnt have to break up our big 3 of murphy, dunleavy, and j-rich
2) no first round picks were involved as far as I know
3) We have a legitimate all star!!!!
If only this could have come earlier too! Oh well, maybe we could put on a win streak and have a shot at the playoffs still :D
As for the Kings, I'm so glad they finally dumped webber. The kings are a 50 win team w/o him so getting anything in return works
Golden State Warriors-Denver Nuggets: The Warriors traded forward Eduardo Najera and a No. 1 pick to the Nuggets for forwards Nikoloz Tskitishvili and Rodney White, league sources told ESPN Insider Chad
Both players were lottery picks but didn't amount to much. Maybe they can resurrect their careers a little here :D
If it will keep Baron Davis healthy and on the court, you'll find me and Elton in the kitchens of Adath Israel on Noriega St. plucking chickens, boiling water, and studying Hebrew.
For a winner, I'll convert.
Heck, my parents already took care of the really scary part for me when I was an infant.
I was just looking at the warrior's game schedule and they don't play again until Sunday! Can't we get a game in earlier. I want to see Baron in action! :hehe: :hehe:
I was just listening to Baron Davis on KNBR. It seems the limo guy driving him around today is a Radnitch fan, so he got him to call in.
According to Davis, he just took and passed his physical this morning.
He's hoping to play between 15 to 20 minutes on Sunday.
He's still got concerns about his ankle, says it's still a bit tender, so he and the Warriors don't want him to screw it up now by trying to play 40 minutes per game.
He sounds pretty realistic. He knows the Warriors aren't going anywhere this year (16 wins so far, with only 28 left on the schedule) so he's talking about getting 100% healthy, and using the rest of this season to get to know the team, and to learn to play together.
That way they have a chance to make some noise next season.
Just my impression... the guy sounded very happy, and very upbeat about being here.

All right! Looking pretty good then. As long as he's happy then I'm happy. I heard him and J-Rich are pretty good friends off the court as well so that's always good. Getting healthy is the first priority as we'll be ready and in full force to kick some butt next season! :mrgreen: :woot:
