NYT: Marbury 'Expected to Be Waived'

Finances be damned...that sux but if they have money to burn, why not make a clean start....

 

The money has already been burnt because they still have to pay him. The only decision is whether they wanted Marbury on the 15-man roster or not. Donnie Walsh had no choice.

 

I always thought that if he were on a team with an established leadership and heirarchy he might have been better, he is a good passer.

Heck, I would consider taking a flyer on him, he is better than anything we have right now...why not take a low risk shot?

I dunno. The phrase "abnormally awful locker room impact" makes me wary.

 

DD, I have always respected your thoughts and analysis. But, NO.

 

I know, but if he does that, you jettison him....no harm, no foul.

Winning cures a LOT of ills......Steph would be like the 4th or 5th option here, and part of a team that can seriously win it all, and it is like a free upgrade at our weakest position.

go for it! marbury > brooks and strawberries
my guess: he is going to boston

 

Agreed, Marbury would be a sure fire to make the Houston Rockets crash and burn

 

Hmm...Marbury with Artest in the locker room?? We might as well sign Bonzi too.

 

1. Usually among the highest players on the team. Doesn't necessarily mean that he should be the overt leader, but at a minimum at least be neutral to team chemistry.

2. The starting (when not in the doghouse) PG which usually has some Leadership implications.

3. He has been in the NBA long enough to have developed whatever maturity and leadership skills he lacked at a younger age. Not much visible progress in those areas over the years.

 

I am not talking about signing him long term, just giving him a league minimum contract, and if he screws up......you cut him.

I understand people not wanting to take the risk though....Artest is a handful already.

I think we have enough at PG to win it all as is.....

hes right.

 

There's so few of us that believe that.

 

Marbury with Artest? We may as well close the doors and mix bleach and ammonia in the locker room.

 

We could have a good second lineup of:

Stephon Marbury
Steve Francis
Bonzi Wells
Battier
Landry

 

Artest and Marbury on the same team?

That could rival the stupidity in mixing Artest with the Jermaine/Tinsley/S-Jac crew.

 

That team would have a strong fight in them

 

He was on the Wolves with Garnett as the established leader and Marbury could not handle the fact that he would always be the 2nd highest paid player on the team.

 

Garnet is NO leader, he is the consumate 2nd tier star.....
