Webber not happy about reduced role
17th Nov 2006, 05:04 GMT
Chris Webber has talked with Philadelphia 76ers president Billy King about the star forward's unhappiness over a reduced role that's included two fourth-quarter benchings. Webber's minutes and production have dramatically declined this season, and coach Maurice Cheeks has rested him for two entire fourth quarters in seven games, turning him into a $20 million role player. King said Thursday night he's talked recently with Webber, but did not say if a trade was requested.
