Maybe the day you sit out practice with a sore lower back isn’t the best time to go in and demand a trade.
There’s no official confirmation from anyone on the “ask for a trade” portion, but sources are saying that’s exactly what Seventy-Sixers forward Max Veeber has done.
This apparently took place late Wednesday in a meeting between Veeber and GM Billy King.
The last words from Max himself are as follows, wherein he is both mysterious and optimistic, with a touch of fantasy role-playing.
“I’m not going to keep playing like this. I don’t like this role. So you can take that however you want.”
“It’s built a lot of character,” Webber said then of his time in Philadelphia. “And I’m not a quitter… . I know this is where I’m supposed to be right now… . The tougher it is right now, the better the story will be if we win. It’ll be like a movie. So that’s what I’m looking for, some type of movie ending.”
Like a movie where you ask for a trade? Isn’t that how Finding Nemo ended?
No – wait. That’s how Back to the Future Part II ended.
Hang on – we meant that other movie about a time-travelling, smart aleck teen – Timecop.
If you haven’t guessed, we’re out of things to say about this – the Seventy-Sixers are 4-3. Chris Webber is old, overpaid, and slow. Nobody will trade for him, so he better learn to be smiley, which he’s quite good at when he wants to be.
FADE OUT.
NOTE: Webber isn’t the only high-profile power forward who’s pissy at the moment. Jermaine O’Neal got in an argument with Larry Bird and Rick Carlisle after the Pacers lost to the Celtics Wednesday.
NOTE 2: In retrospect, this post should’ve been about Jermaine O’Neal getting in an argument with Larry Bird and Rick Carlisle after the Pacers lost to the Celtics Wednesday.

The East really sucks this year.
Some type of movie ending – just like the end of his college career?
Oh, and Monsieur Parker dit la verite. The East is shameful.
aaah webber .
why can’t chris accept the fact that very soon it’s time for him to join ‘ dancing with the stars ‘ !
Wow, unbelievable how people can spin things. JO, Rick and Larry had a conversation after the game and all parties are happy about how it went.
Why would Webber join “Dancing with the Stars?” Does he want to tear his ACL?
