標題: [新聞] Webber plans to re-sign with Warriors on Tuesday

Chris Webber told ESPN.com on Monday night that he will arrive in Oakland on
Tuesday to officially re-join the Golden State Warriors and play again for
Don Nelson.
"I'll be there tomorrow," Webber said via e-mail. "It's a done deal."
Webber has signed for a pro-rated share of the league's $1.2 million veteran
minimum, which computes to just under $570,000 if he stays with Golden State
to the end of the regular season. But he won't hook up with his new teammates
before Thursday at the earliest.
Although the club is scheduled to formally announce the signing Tuesday after
the 34-year-old completes a physical, Golden State plays road games in
Houston and New Orleans on Tuesday and Wednesday. The soonest Webber might
play would be Friday's home game against the Charlotte Bobcats -- which is
also a homecoming for longtime Warriors guard Jason Richardson -- but Nelson
could elect to give Webber more time to get acclimated. The Warriors have
five days off for practices after the Charlotte game.
When asked to elaborate on a reunion that's arguably even more unlikely than
the brief stint Penny Hardaway completed with Shaquille O'Neal's Miami Heat
earlier this season, Webber said he would speak at length about his decision
later this week.
But this brief proclamation to confirm that he's returning to the team and
city where he began his NBA career in 1993 -- and where he lasted only one
season because of a fast-crumbling relationship with Nelson -- will be
sufficiently stunning to longtime Warriors fans who believe that the
breakdown of the initial Webber-Nelson partnership plunged Golden State into
more than a decade of despair.
Before Nelson's own surprising and triumphant return to Oakland last season,
which resulted in an immediate trip to the playoffs and a historic
first-round upset of the 67-win Dallas Mavericks, Golden State hadn't reached
the postseason since going 50-32 in 1993-94. That was Webber's first and only
season as a Warrior, but the honeymoon was one of the shortest ever seen in
the league. Some six months after winning NBA Rookie of the Year honors,
Webber forced a trade to Washington to get away from Nelson, who was ousted
as Warriors coach and general manager soon after.
But Nelson has been warmly welcomed back to the Bay Area by the Warriors'
rabid fans in spite of the initial perception that he chased off one of the
most talented players in franchise history. Nelson has fronted Golden State's
unlikely push to bring him back and has maintained that he and Webber
reconciled years ago, when he chose Webber to replace the injured O'Neal --
over Dirk Nowitzki from Nelson's Mavericks -- as the West's starting center
for the 2002 All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
Although there is widespread skepticism regarding Webber's ability to keep up
with Nelson's run-and-gunners -- given the mobility issues that have hampered
the 34-year-old since a serious knee injury in the 2003 playoffs and
subsequent microfracture surgery -- Nelson insists that the Warriors need
Webber's passing and midrange game to get them unstuck when the game slows
down or their countless 3-pointers aren't dropping.
Nelson and Warriors vice president of basketball operations Chris Mullin --
one of Webber's teammates during his solitary season in Golden State -- have
likewise expressed confidence that the 67-year-old coach and Webber are ready
for this seemingly hard-to-fathom reunion after numerous conversations in
recent days.
"I'm afraid if we don't get him here [that] our team is not strong enough to
be a playoff team," Nelson said. "That's my biggest fear. I think if he comes
it can benefit our team, it can benefit his and my relationship, it can
benefit players on this team. I think he has a chance to make some of our
players better and make our team better. Really that's all that's important.
I'll get along with anybody who can help our team."
