Chris Webber regretted that when he signed the contract, he had agreed to put the player option at the end of the second year.
Because he already didn't want to waste even a second of his time in Orlando anymore—this wasn't where he belonged.
The fans here loved Shaq, and Shaq loved Roger.
Webber had had enough of O'Neal repeatedly praising Roger in front of the media and belittling himself. He was fed up with that fatso bossily pointing fingers and yelling at him.
There wasn't a second he didn't want to leave Orlando, but the contract he had signed meant he had to honestly stay for at least three years.
Initially, Webber had wanted to set a player option at the end of the first year. That way, he only needed one year to prove himself, and then he could sign a big contract in the second year.
