concerning the possibility of c-webb returning to the warriors, i'm not quite sold on it, for a couple of reasons:
1)offensive styles don't really mesh: c-webb's biggest contribution to any basketball team is that he is one of the best passing big men in the nba. rather than contribute by backing down and low-posting up, he chooses to remain on the outside on the high post, and chooses to fire passes to cutting perimeter guys to give them easy layups. and well, golden state NEVER cuts to the basket or utilizes off-the-ball movement. ever. LOL. DEY LUV DAT 3 BIZ-ZALL.
2)slow feet: though golden state already plays a lot of zone/double-teaming w/rotations, which helps to hinder any one player's defensive woes, webber's slow feet hurts them both by the fact that it'll be hard for webber to constantly rotate on defense, forcing him to remain near the paint(which hurts even more since he's not considered that great of a post defender to begin with), and that golden state loves to run, which would leave him constantly behind.
i think c-webb contributes best to a team that likes to grind it out on offense, and utilizes a zone defense. incidently enough, that makes him a good fit for the pistons, but also the mavs, and possibly spurs, along with a few other teams. but pistons recently thought they didn't really need webber(his slow feet mightve hurt them more in the postseason in the cleveland series than i originally thought), and they are having the best regular season under flip saunders so far(without relying too hard on their 5 starters), after ditching the mentality of trying the last 2 seasons to tweak their offense, instead just going in this year and trying to shut ppl down(their improved bench helps too).
of course, i could be completely wrong about webber. i just don't think all 4 warriors on the floor are gonna suddenly cut to the basket with c-webb on their team, if they never cut to the basket to begin with.
