For those that do not know, I am NOT a Michigan fan. Oh sure, I am fair weather fan enough to cheer for them against USC and sometimes against Ohio St. but I am a Spartan. By the way, did you watch that Florida/Ohio St. football game on Monday. I thought Jim Tressel coached the Buckeyes? It sure looked like John Cooper and Lloyd Carr morphed into Jim Tressel. Ohio St was so unprepared for a big game (Cooperesque) and then made no adjustment in the 2nd half (Carresque). Crazy.
Anyway, just know that I do not eat the Michigan cornbread.
But Chris Webber coming to Detroit is a good thing and will probably happen for sure. He will probably go right into the starting lineup as our 5, replacing Nazr Mohammed. I think this is a good move.
It sets up Detroit to make a splash at the trade deadline with Flip Murray, Dale Davis, and 2 number 1 draft picks to this year's draft. That is alot and more than most teams, in a title contention, can offer any other team. The team really needs backcourt scoring off the bench. Blaylock and Hunter do not offer that at all. Webber does not address that need but aquiring him opens up the possibility to make the trade to get that.
Webber doesn't make Detroit the prohibitive favorite. It is not as much a slam-dunk as landing Sheed in 04 was, but it is a great move for a little over 1 million dollars. It is good to see a homeboy come back.

Dude, they aint gonna trade Davis. Murray and Mohammad, for sure. Too bad Rose didn't hook up with us. He will, though, you watch. Lovin seeing C-Webb in a Det uni! Lovin it!
yeah, I agree on the Dale Davis thing. Nazr and Murray though, they are probably gone.
Let's just hope the lineup gets sets now with Chauncey bck and C-Webb in there and they roll off a good streak here.
