They should have being more professional because Mullin and Hardaway were upset too when they traded Mitch Richmond away. Chris and Tim moved on and it's business. Don't think Sprewell told it that way and then Sprewell said something of Tim being a brown noser to Nelson and the feud started.
Sprewell I thought should taken likes of the role Klay because it was Tim's and Chris' team. Sprewell's head got too big. Webber #1 pick from Michigan was a bad combo with Nelson.
Don't blame anyone except Cohan the new owner that didn't straighten things out. But then think Nelson was out to screw Cohan anyway for forcing a sell of the Warriors from his buddy Jim Fitzgerald and Dan Finnane.
Thanks for the insight man. Found this time interesting. Long time fans had to be disappointed in the way it could play out compared to how it did.
IMO- Shoulda just rid of Nelson. Webber was a stud. You guys woulda been awesome if ppl stayed in line.
You're going to get different opinions from different sides and who should have stayed who should have gone. The truth about Webber is he hated being in the Bay Area. He was scared to death of earthquakes and wouldn't even drive over a bridge to get to the city.
It's true that he hated playing Center but the thing is Nelson went out and got him a center in Rony seikaly. The problem with that was that he traded Webber and Sprewells buddy so after Webber left Sprewell moped and ended up taking the team down with him.
Some people blame Nellie and some people blame Webber. I blame Webber.
