Chris Webber to sign with the Pistons
ESPN has reported that 33-year old Chris Webber has agreed to sign with the Detroit Pistons. He cannot officially sign until Tuesday, as the NBA front office is closed in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Timberwolves, Pistons close to deal
According to multiple NBA sources, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons are discussing a deal that would send Minnesota's Marko Jaric to Detroit for one of Nazr Mohammed, Antonio McDyess, or Dale Davis. Mohammed appears to be the most likely candidate as of right now.
The Timberwolves traded for Jaric in the 2005 off-season, sending Sam Cassell and a future first-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Clippers for the 6'7" guard. Jaric, however, has not lived up to expectations in Minnesota and has been unhappy with playing time in his two seasons with the team. He has averaged 6.8 points per game in 106 contests with the Timberwolves.
The Pistons are trying to make room for Chris Webber, who should sign with them within the next day or so. They would prefer to dump Mohammed, as McDyess' and Davis' contracts both expire at the end of this season. The 6'10" Mohammed is averaging 7.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game this year. He signed with Detroit as a free agent this past off-season.
