Speculation Going on About Marbury Possibly Joining the Spurs

[jayc23]

who needs marbury when you have tpark and hill...

[spursnatic]

Let's get real now? Marbury is owed 20 million this year, do you really think the Spurs have that kind of money to throw at him? They would have to give up Parker/ Ginobili or Duncan to get him, and trust me that will never happen!!! He is very good but I don't think we have a chance of taking that contract over. I think we should just keep our offer on the table with Maggette, and pray that he will say yes. Because someone like that would seriously help the Spurs out and add youth at the same time. Which we badly need. And then I say go re-sign Finley and Thomas, and we might be holding that Larry O'brien at the end of next season. Them two are getting up there in age, but they are very valuable to the Spurs regardless of what anyone thinks.

Slow down now - this whole thread is based off of an assumption that Marbury is bought out or cut by the Knicks, which means that he could sign a new contract with the Spurs. It sounds like the consensus is one of two options - give him a try for a vet. minimum contract or send Pop to convince him that it would be in his best interest to play overseas (as he claimed he would once his Knicks' contract was up).

MARBURY > BENO > VAUGHN

Maggette and Marbury and were set

Maggette and Marbury and were set

George Hill > Marbury


but I agree with "mature" Marbury > Vaughn

Yeah scrubary is pretty bad, but lets look at it like this.

If hes willing to take a small salary, be a team player, take a bench role. Can you think of a better back up point guard?

is probably going to freeze over before all three happen.

you never know, if he is really determined to win he could set all the extra aside.

you never know, if he is really determined to win he could set all the extra aside.

If his focus really was about winning, he would have acted more like Malik Rose this past season then, well, Starbury. Offseason lawsuit behavior included.

And I don't really hold that much stock in the whole 'new team, new player, new start' belief. If that really were the case, you would have seen that in New Jersey, Phoenix, or New York.

First, Marbury has to be waived and I'm not sure Knicks are ready to do that.

If hill sucks ass in SL, going after Marbury for the min or the LLE could be really good idea.
We should have a good idea if, as Pop said, Hill will be able to help Spurs in his rookie year as soon as the first SL game. In one week, Spurs will play their first game against Grizzlies, that is to say Mayo, Conley and Crittenton.

He would never take a backup role because he's STARBURY - which is part of his problem.

That would be nice, I would love to have Marbury on our team. It would give us a great player who can score, pass, etc. But I do not see Knicks buying him out of the 20 million left on his contract. And another thing, I have been keeping up on the movement and possible movement of players. And not once have I seen anything on a Marbury destination or even a possible destination?
I am not trying to be negative or criticize you in no way, but I just can't see it sorry?

[jack sommerset]

It would be a easy decsion to make. You would sign him. If he gets out of hand you cut him. That simple. In fact SA might be the best place for that under achieving loser. Nothing to do but play ball. Hardly any reporters to mouth off to. He can't black mail Pop. His shoe line will do great in SA. Very affordable He won't be the man in SA. 3 rings says alot (strike season does not count,my opionion)It probably would be more like a prision term for him but believe it or not some people get rehabilitated.

I say he is LONG GONE though. This idiot said he was going to play in another country and do for basketball overseas what David Beckham is doing here. I willl always remember when he was traded for Jason Kidd, he said he got the better end of that deal and Kidd took that same team with him running the point to 2 finals. Chances are he would be cut but what the , take a chance if it pops up.

[Spuradicator]

This team doesn't need a Marbury. I don't think he would know how to even approach the game as a role player.

Pass.

If you are saying that you haven't seen anything about Marbury being waived or bought out, then I will suggest that you haven't been following the player movement as much as you claim. If you are saying that you haven't heard anyone mention the Spurs as a possible destination, then I will suggest that you haven't read the opening article of this very thread. I'm not saying that it is a credible source - it is one journalist's opinion, but it is the opinion that is the hypothetically-basis of this thread.

For the record, I don't think that there is any chance possible that Marbury ends up with the Spurs - even if he is released or bought out. So, we are in agreement there.

[GrandeDavid]

Hey, at least we'd get to hear him say stuff like "bringin some more of that same flavor, you know what I'm sayin", as he did on the 2003 Championship DVD.

[BiZNicK]

I'd consider J.Vaughn starting the point before allowing marbury to put on a spurs uniform.
