Well, you'll probably get something close to your first wish for the foreseeable future with RC's ty GM work. This team would actually have a chance had RC not traded Scola for jack .
You need to brush up on your math, and besides even if the Spurs were interested in Marbury, which they're not, they wouldn't trade for him.

scola is sucking against lakers
a team with decent bigs
Except that they add up to about $12mil and NYK would never take them.
If we had $21mil in expendables, I'd do it, and leave him on the bench here if we need to...
I like Marbury, but not as a Spur.
i didn't know you need math to use sarcasm.
The Spurs need scoring while Tony and Manu are out.
The defense has been terrible I know, but it is the regular season, and if you can score, you can win a few games. The Spurs need scoring not because it will win them a championship, they need it so they at least win a few regular season games so they can then have a chance to stay in playoff contention... which will give the team time to improve there defense with a full roster.
It's easier to win some regular season games in the NBA with sheer offense because teams have off nights and if you can score enough, you can win. At the moment, this active Spurs team will struggle to score enough points even if the opposition is having an off night or if the Spurs hold them to 85 points.
Marbury at 30MPG can still give at least 13PPG and be a true offensive threat. He wouldn't help the Spurs in there normal state, but at the moment, he sure would.
I needed your setup for my own jape...
, we are discussing Marbury. This season sucks major balls.
At this point, try it. He's a decent scorer and if he signs for the vet min it's worth the risk. He's a knucklehead but so was Jax, who excelled here in a disciplined environment.
At this point, with no Parker and no Manu, I think the Spurs have very little to lose.
No kidding. I really didn't mind the Scola trade at in theory, but never, in my wildest dreams, did I think they would've simply given the guy away for a bag of magic beans and some pocket change.
That's why Pop plays Mike Finley. Popped demands hard defense, you know.
And he's won 4 les.
I would have welcomed Marbury before his idiotic "I wont accept a 99% buyout" comments. (paraphrasing). What a selfish loser.
He could have really helped.
What game were you watching? He was one of the few decent rockets players last night, as opposed to Yao and T-Mac...
There's no need to badmouth Scola for a FO up...
And please, keep Starbury as FAR away from Texas as possible...
Marbury to the Spurs..lol now I have seen everything.
HEY HEY HEY.....beggars cant be choosers
I would rather bring in Mighty Mouse
Michael Finley and Udoka really need to step it up.
ok, Mighty Mouse's cousin
if he feels better and we see ourselves in a 5+ game losing streak I see Spurs gettting him back.
what is the status of Salim's injury?
I think when Ducks posted that, it was early in the game and Scola hadn't done much.
However, you're right, by the end of the game, Scola was the 2nd best Rocket player, only behind the little guy, Aaron Brooks.
As for the FO up, I think it's fair to say Scola is better than Oberto, KT, Bonner and Tolliver. And probably better than Mahinmi but I'll wait til Ian plays in the NBA before I make that decision.
The Spurs are 1-4. They've been scoring, and it's won them precisely one game.
In double overtime.
Against the Timberwolves.
It seems like some of you haven't been watching the Spurs for the last fifteen years.
You don't seem to understand how bad this team is playing on the defensive end. Last year, Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen alone averaged the same number of blocks per game as the entire Spurs team does now. Their opponents are out boarding them by five a game over last year, and their opponents are outshooting them. Even if Bonner, Finley and Bowen continue to shoot as badly as they have, the combination of rebounding, playing defense and not jacking up 30 three pointers a game would put the Spurs a of a lot closer to winning games than signing a guy who didn't make the Knicks better until he was banished to the bench. If Mike D'Antoni doesn't think he's going to be a credit to the offense, why the should we?
MAn I would love that move. Aside from all his issues he is truly one of the great point guards in this league. WIth some good leadership and coaching Marbury could definitely be a big contributor. Apart from that he is more of a true point than Parker. Playing both at the same time would allow parker to concnetrate on scoring.
And once Parker and Manu are back, what then? And what if Hill and Farmer turn out to be better than expected, what now? you'll have one disgruntled employee that could go postal.
