Chris Webber's excitement when he was traded to Philadelphia has quickly vanished and he now has stated that he cannot play with Allen Iverson.

"I can't play with him," Webber told one old friend. "He dribbles too much."

Webber apparently isn't very confident that he and Iverson can make a successful tandem starting next season. After lamenting Iverson's me-first approach, he told his pal: "I'd take a pay cut to get out of there."

With Webber's huge salary and frequent injury problems, it is unlikely that they will be able to deal him.
