<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When training camp opens next Tuesday at Duke, Chris Webber will figure prominently into the Sixers' plans. Webber has been working out in Detroit and rehabilitating his surgically repaired knee, according to Cheeks and team president Billy King. The knee seemed to limit his mobility as a Sixer after the Feb. 23 trade with the Kings last Feb. 23, although Webber earned Western Conference Player of the Month in January. "Chris told me, 'The aching I had daily, just walking around last year, is not there. That, to me, is a big sign,' " said King at a luncheon Monday afternoon. "He said that was what he had to live with, even before we got him from Sacramento." Besides apparently being healthier, Webber should also benefit from Cheeks' plan to involve him in the offense more than Jim O'Brien did. "Chris Webber's an interesting player because he's a star," Cheeks said. "He can pass the ball, he can score the ball, he can rebound the ball. When you have a guy that can do all those things and do them well, I think we have to utilize him as much as possible." King and Cheeks expect that a full camp and preseason will allow Webber and Allen Iverson to become more comfortable with each other.</div> link: http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/100...005-547182.html old news, but i am expecting a lot of chris this season.
Expected, but great news. People don't realize how important for it is for Webb's knee to get stronger. The 76ers style of play is to run up and down the floor. If Chris has a bad knee then he will struggle doing what the 76ers like to do. It is good to see that his knee is better though. Hopefully he can get some of his explosivness back, and come back this season 100% healthy ready to play ball.
Hopefully, Philly will be all they were touted to be last year after the Webber acquisition. I knew it would take time for the deal to pan out and show its true colors and I honestly did think it would take longer than this. I think the Sixers can do a lot more than people think they can if everyone stays healthy.
