You guys do realize ALMU made this thread... he is probably gonna leave you hanging for another month.
Marbury's contract is one year shorter than Tmacs and ends after next season. I dont see why the Rockets would want to downgrade in talent just to get a year less of contract room.
I have no doubt the Knicks would be interested in doing this. I also have no doubt Isiah thinks this is an idea the Rockets would like. But the chances this goes through? 0% The phone call: NY - "We're thinking of a trade. It involves Marbur-" Houston - *click*
Lets do it! Tell them to toss in two 1st round picks! Unprotected! We save a lot of money, draft very good, and able to sign and impact player(s)! Lets face it, were playing good now, but c'mon, were not gonna win it all...
Mitch Lawrence (disdained frequently by [drumroll] Pete Vecsey) talked about Isaih and TMc in this AM's NYDaily News (link available). But, let's be serious - Marbury? Crawford and Lee and Q for Tracy and mj maybe, plus Roxgetting two unprotected 1s, in '09 and '11. Now, do you think anything like that will occur?
Marbury is the one with the expiring contract, and Marbury's contract is similar to McGrady's, so this deal would be a salary dump mostly. I can't see the rox actually WANTING Marbury. The only other assets they have that are intriguing in the slightest is their 1st rounders, Lee, the willingness to eat Mike James contract, and maybe Crawford(really haven't seen him play much this year though so maybe not).
PLEASE don't do it! We don't need Marbury. Did IT just say before yesterday's game that all his players were untouchable?
Come on guys! Don't be so skeptical. We get Marbury, then trade Yao to Portland for Darius Miles . . . Bong city!
actually, my bad. Like someone else mentioned in this thread, Marbury still has a contract for one more season after this one, making his contract one year shorter than TMac's.
I doubt we keep Marbury....maybe if we give them luther as well, we try him at sg, but i bet we buy him out...he's still serviceable for 15 minutes. He's just a cancer though so i would opt to buy his contract out so he can go play in euorpe like he says...loser.
