I do however agree that he should at least see the floor in the 4th quarter for a little bit. He may not be Kings Webber but he certainly is not a worthless player.
Defense defense and defense.
3 of 4 Sixer wins he sat entire 4th. So what's not to sit?
Perhaps Webber is feeding not only his but 6,000 other families. Lord knows he could with 18 per year he has been getting.
Players like he and the partial below should be beyond thankful for the benefit amount for NBA Work Comp for injured or reduced capacity players (due to injury or "lost" skills) These amounts are obscene.
