Webber, 33, who was bought out of the remaining two years of his contract ($43 million) by the 76ers on Wednesday, is essentially a free agent and can sign with any team. He would only be paid a prorated portion of the NBA minimum for players with 10 years of service or more ($1.87 million). Though he didn't want to comment, Pistons president Joe Dumars confirmed the Pistons do have interest in Webber. Webber is considering several teams, including the Pistons, Mavericks, Nets, Lakers and Knicks. Webber, formerly of Detroit Country Day and the University of Michigan, has averaged 21.4 points and 10 rebounds during his 14-year career, but microfracture knee surgery two years ago has robbed him of much of his mobility. "He is still a productive player," Pistons center Nazr Mohammed said. "I can't imagine any team that wouldn't try to get him. He's got his money, so he can just wait, see which team is coming together at the right time and then make his choice." Webber averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds with the 76ers last season, but only played in 18 games this year (11 points). It would be interesting to see how he would fit into the Pistons rotation. Would he replace Mohammed as a starter? Would he come off the bench and take minutes from Antonio McDyess and Jason Maxiell? Pistons coach Flip Saunders, deferred those questions to a later date.</div> Source
