PLAYERS: Chris Webber
Stop me if you've heard this story before: an All-Star power forward wears out his welcome with several teams; he amasses impressive statistics but his teams do not win any championships; by the time his last team gives up on him, he is barely averaging 10 ppg and his career seems to be coming to an unceremonious end. Sounds like Chris Webber, right? It does, but I'm actually referring to Bob McAdoo. The Lakers acquired McAdoo in December 1981 to replace the injured Mitch Kupchak and McAdoo revived his career, making indispensable contributions to two Lakers title runs in the next four years. Then Lakers Coach Pat Riley has said on more than one occasion that the Lakers would not have won those championships without McAdoo.

    NO NO NO, he is just looking for another paycheck before surgery.
  • If you look back at what was written about McAdoo before the Lakers acquired him, you will find out that people said the same things about him at that time. The East is weak this year and the Spurs and Mavs showed last year (and early this year) that they are pretty evenly matched. The Lakers could use a veteran inside presence. C Webb is a potential difference maker if he goes to the right team.
