no, no, and no... even if he comes at us cheap. First, Marbury is going to start and fuel the "craziness" in artest. Artest needs to be surround with players are not decent and not trouble makers. second. How do you think marbury with interact with Tmac? SF? or even Yao? he is not gonna get along with all 3 of them. which is protential hazard. third, marbury is a ballhog, shoot first pass second guard. do we even have enough balls to go around? we are not playing the run and gun, therefore not enough shots to go around.
get him now...he is still productive...the rockets will have to beat out a number of teams to get him...he is just incapable of being a leader and on our team he doesnt have to be
You have to think the Miami Heat would be one of Marbury's possible destinations. The Heat appear to be desperate to find PG help.
If someone can be demoted to a rookie for posting a funny vid, then the same should apply for suggesting the rockets sign that cancer marbury.
The only time Marbury makes a team better is when he leaves. Say no to Marbury. He is the definition of a cancer. Nobody likes him in the locker room. Why would we want that!? Even I would rather keep Head than get Marbury. Yes he's far more talented than any point guard we got, but his cancer infinitely outweighs that talent.
For the minimum I'd take him. Man there are so many problems on the Knicks, that's the kind of stuff that makes it worse. Get Marbury in a good situation, I bet he will step up his game. He can shoot and actually run the show way better than any of our PGs. Remember last year he wanted Garnett because he now wants to win. It would not surprise me if he went to a good team that has a chance to win, he would steer as straight as he can and help them win.
I highly doubt that. Not anymore. Maybe if you define better as who would win a one-on-one pick-up game, then I'd agree Marbury's better then Alston, hands down. You think putting the guy on a winning team would inspire him? Please. They guy wanted to go play in Europe so he could be a star there. He has other priorities. Marbury's cancer. By the time he would learn Adelman's system, the cancer would spread too much to where you wouldn't be able to simply "cut" it out anymore. The only cure to cancer is to prevent it. I'll have to pass on Marbury. Good day sir!
it's funny because I was waiting for the bot-like "he's a cancer!!!!!!1! I'd take Head LoLz!" cliched posts by people who like to act as if they know a lot of basketball.. let's face it, we've been really excited this summer about the roster moves, maybe a little TOO excited, but maybe we didn't stop and think that the Point Guard void is gonna come and bite us in the a$$ down the line.. I can see it right now; teams playing zone and clogging the lane for Tmac and Artest, who's open at the top of the key? Skip to my Brick Alston .. shoots it, AIRBALL! I'm not saying that Stephon is the answer for our problems, I don't even like the guy's game, but only an extremely low-intelligence person would take Rafer over this guy. What's the worst that can happen? him callin Tmac "a pumpkin Head", kicking Rafer in the nuts, then spitting in Adelman's face? .. We'll just waive him, we got him for cheap anyway. But think of how well behaved he will be if we signed him for 1 year for a really cheap price. think of how complete the roster would be with him starting, Francis/Wafer coming off the bench.. too bad "thinking" isn't really a popular habit these days..
Unbelievable that anyone is even considering him on the rockets. Don't let the stats fool you, marbury destroys locker rooms and team chemistry. His cancerous ways for outweigh any stats he would put up. Plus he needs to dominate the ball to be even remotely effective. People who think we should get him, need to give their head a shake.
that's what happens when you have Rafer dominates the ball. Every available PG is a hot topic on this board. In fact, Marbury will never play as TMAC's PG or Rafer's bench. This thread is useless.
This thread is about Marbury right? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/l_89i-QCP7c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/l_89i-QCP7c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
And lo and behold, post #20. It's like clockwork. And for the pro Marbury crowd. To quote Terrell Owens: If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat , by golly, it is a rat. EVERY freakin team Marbury has been on he's managed to burn bridges and get booted out. What makes you think it's going to be any different on this team? I seriously doubt he's going to listen to anyone else on the team, veteran laden or not. Even if you cut him early on, you've still wasted time that could have been spent on giving Aaron Brooks more time on the floor, and also Brent Barry and any other guards that could share ballhandling duties behind Rafer. Say you were looking to buy a nice sports car that has had 4 previous owners. Those previous owners all had reported having the same problem with the car that left each owner high and dry and that problem can't be fixed cause the car is inherently defective. You still want to buy the car?
Maybe they actually know what they're talking about not wanting the biggest headcase of the decade on their team. I can see it now, Marbury - 12min, 0-6FG, 3TO. "I got to go back to being Starbury. I know what I'm capable of doing. I can't be aggressive if I'm trying to get people involved and into the game. That's not how I play." Obviously. Anyone who thought about it would know that teams get better when he leaves.

Playing for the Knicks has got to be a nightmare, and it weighs heavily on the weak minded, which Stephan surely is.....however, he can play the game, and in a situation with established veteran leadership, he could fall in line. No guarantees, but if he does, you have an all star level PG for basically nothing....and the WC is full of quality PGs...and right now, ours are not all that great. I am always...ALWAYS in favor of taking a low risk shot...... Marbury may indeed be a massive headcase and cancer, but why not take a free shot to find out? What happens if he is so happy to be on a winning team like the Rockets with other stars like Tmac, Yao, Artest etc....that he calms down and just plays? Sometimes people with egos are just insecure, and need guidance and leadership, Stephan has never had that on any team he has been on.....he might just fall in line.....I would take that shot. DD
Marbury does not care about winning...PERIOD!! All he cares about is his stats and playing time. If the rockets are winning and he's not playing, he'll be a cancer whining about playing time and destroying the team chemistry. Marbury would much rather play and lose, than win and not play.
I'll take Marbury over Rafer any day. Why??? C'mon ...man let's be realistic i don't give a shyt about cancer this and that...the guy has All-Star talent that Rafer can only wish to match. For example, Marbury is really unstoppable when attacking the hoop. Now let me see if Rafer can do that???
