Webber may be a Piston after all…

Posted by pistonsnation

According to ESPN:

Chris Webber has a multi-million dollar contract offer on the table from Olympiacos of Greece, and he plans to decide by this weekend whether to accept it or wait on the sidelines for another chance at playing in the NBA.

Two sources familiar with the offer told ESPN.com that Olympiacos was offering a two-year deal that would net Webber between $10 million and $12 million, which would make him the highest-paid American player in Europe.

Webber has said he is leaning toward returning to the Detroit Pistons, although signing Webber prior to training camp, even for the veterans’ minimum, would have cap ramifications that the Pistons want to avoid. Webber is said to be comfortable with the idea of waiting at least a month or two for the Pistons’ roster issues to work themselves out, which would allow him to join them in midseason as he did in 2005-06.

I don’t know. I’m really intrigued by the Dice starting at PF and Sheed at the 5 we heard about awhile ago. But, given the choice between Webb and Nazr….sorry Nazr.

Rivalry propaganda (Boston Celtics)

The Celtics are looking for a season presenting sponsor, a marketing concept that was pioneered by the Detroit Pistons and their sponsor Rock Financial. It’s a close guarded secret as to who’s actually going to become the highly sought after sponsor of the leagues new darling, but PN has the inside scoop on who it will be…

Danny Ainge's 3 star Bistro

Boston Celtics’ games will now be brought to you by Ainge’s Bistro. Like the Celtics, little known Ainge’s Bistro has a proud tradition, and boasts three star accomodations. Ainge’s is famous for having no bench…seating that is, all guest enjoy soft padded appointments.

Being the official sponsor didn’t come cheap. Ainge’s admits that the investment is a gamble, but hopefully one that’ll pay dividends.

TGI(YT)F

TGI(YT)F pays homage to Corliss Williamson this week. In case you didn’t hear, the “Big Nasty” announced his retirement from the NBA this past Wednesday.

Here’s the first memory that comes to mind when I think about the 2001/02 6th man of the year. It’s Corliss throw’n one down and then ready to throw down with the then rival Pacers’ Jermaine O’Neal. I always thought that the ‘04 Palace Brawl would have been a little more intense had a certain #34 still been with the red, white, and Pistons blue.

Roll film…
