Mayce Edward Christopher Webber III. Aka Chris Webber.From Sacto Queen to noseless Lego figurine to… Los Angeles Laker?
Seeing as how Bynum is on the shelf for 8 weeks, the Lakers are suddenly in need of another big. Chris Mihm is still out and asking Kwame/Ronny Turiaf to hold down the middle for the top team in the West is a bit much.
Bynum had quickly become the 2nd scoring option. Most importantly, he was a big with the kind of back-to-the-basket presence necessary for success against teams like the Suns [as evidenced last night].
As many knocks as the guy has on him, he could probably muster something up to fill the void until Bynum gets back. After that, he can feel free to come up hurt and whiny all he pleases. Hell, he can even bust out his “I just caught a big whiff of shit” face/frown he made famous in the playoffs against the Lakers.
Whatever it takes. Only 8 weeks. 8 weeks = 56 days. Sign the guy to 5 consecutive 10-day contracts, then dump him and welcome back #17. Webber wanted to be on a contender, right? Well, he didn’t specify for how long. Ugh fine… worst case scenario he is signed to an actual contract and we deal him at the deadline to the East. Everybody plays, everybody wins. Fair?
