Going, Going, Back, Back to Cali, Cali?

Chris Webber is more than likely going back to where he started it all and signing with the Golden State Warriors.

Webber did a fine job with the Detroit Pistons last season, helping them make it to the Conference Finals. He provided a spark for the them, in the POST-BEN WALLACE ERA.

What can he do for the Warriors is my question?

The Warriors a fast moving team, in a halfcourt set, Webber can really help ball movement for them, his passes out of the middle are brilliant. He also likes the jumpshot now, over a post game--in a Don Nelson offense, that will work and probably work well.

Nelson sticks to about an 8-man rotation, and Mickael Pietrus has really fallen out of it lately. They use both Andris Biedrins and Al Harrington at center, and neither should be losing minutes. Though Harrington can play the PF easily as well, same with Webber.

I think Webber made a good choice here, the Warriors can use him. He can probably give them a solid 22-29 minutes per game. You add his veteran leadership to that of Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson and you have some guys with good experience who have won in some important playoff games.

Don Nelson is a genius coach, on the offensive end, he's brilliant and the most creative in the game (who else would have let Manute Bol jack up threes like Peja Stojakovic?). Nelson's defense isn't too great, but neither is Webber's anymore. This works perfect. Also figure in that Phoenix, Dallas, Utah, Denver and the Lakers are all offense first teams, you have to like Golden State's chances. I don't think Portland would cause them that much trouble, but that is where the Spurs come in.

Overall, a good move by Mullin and his staff in Oakland, fans there should be excited. The main thing to look at, is Webber can't hurt this team.

It was about a year ago when they acquired Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington. At that time, they weren't even discussed in playoff talk, then three months later, they pulled off the biggest upset in NBA history.
