Why do people think you need all 5 players to be a running team? When do you ever see a 5 man fast break? Webber has great hands to grab boards and is an excellent outlet passer, perfect for initiating a Davis/Ellis/Jackson fastbreak, or some combination of the Warriors athletic wing players.

I love watching the guy play so let's hope it all works out. Plus with it being in the WC it has no negative effect on the Raptors. Everybody wins!

Not sure why this is on the Raps board, such a waste of space. Doesn't change anything for the Raptors or make anyone on GS any more available via trade. Seriously, discuss this on GS board.

Anyways, since it somehow made it on here... he's a solid addition. Doesn't fit their style, but how can you say no to renting Webber for a year on the cheap? If any team can use a big, it's GS.

Sure Webber may not fit their style but he brings in another big body to defend the bigs in West come playoff time. They sure don't need more offensive as it is.
