listen, artest is on a team that would be better with him. wed be better without
Someone post that interview (the one where he sounds crazy) he gave so everyone can see how f'd up this guy really is.
listen, artest is on a team that would be better with him. wed be better without
I would love to see him on the SPURS roster!!! Has anyone been watching the SPURS this season or what?...He could get some points, which we are lacking. He can play the 1 or 2 just as good as anyone in the NBA. And you never know unless you give him a chance?...This would work out (Marbury,Parker, Vaughn and Hill at the 1) (Ginobili,Mason,Farmer or Marbury at the 2) (Bowen, Finley and Udoka at the 3) (Duncan, Tolliver and Bonner at the 4) And Oberto, Thomas and Mahinmi at the 5. That would get us deep on every position like other teams in the league. Plus how do all of you know that Marbury can't change or hasn't already?...Spurs are a team that changes alot of people when they come in. Because they know what they are about!!!!...And I am sure Marbury has enough money already, I think he would rather have a championship, than to screw up a teams chemistry!!!
That's an additional minus.
No freaks.
i suppose ur not one?
You probably don't know how argies run business......
You suppose right.
Someone that is NOT intelligent as a non Christian DOES NOT become intelligent because he thinks he found God, all of a sudden.
D'antoni has been pretty straight: no Marbury whatsoever.
No nonsense.
No bull .
No freaks.
Why on earth should the Spurs swallow their business philosophy to breing home this guy?
On top, I didn't know about this fracture thing with Oberto.
This pretty much seals it.
Good post.
Now I'll try to get a hold on the D'antoni version of the story.
It might not be the same your friend has told you.
Why not. The guy would help us immensly and im willing to take the risk. The only problem that he'll bring with him is when Tony and Manu come back from injury Marbury would go back to the bench but he's not a bench player nor is he a shooting gurard so that's something to consider. So in the short term in oath but in the long term time will tell if it's a success.
WOW....and these posters want Vaughn over Marbury.....unbelievable.
maybe marbury can help u guys out until parker and manu come back.
Except that several of those same guys are doing well now that Marbury's inactive.
You're obviously ignoring the fact that he only played in 24 games last season. Do you honestly think that Marbury was the sole reason for their lack of team chemistry, bad at udes, poor offense, poor defense, and overall inep ude as a basketball team (while only playing 24 games)?
You don't find it strange that Eddie Curry, Zach Randolph, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson, and Malik Rose couldn't gel and find a winning basketball formula with Isaiah Thomas leading the way...
I fail to see how all of that was Marbury's fault. Their relative success this season has more to do with a new coach, a new philosophy, and new additions to the team, and less to do with Marbury being gone.
Sure, Marbury's a "me"-guy but laying the blame solely on him is ridiculous.
He's got more talent than 12 of the players on our 15 man roster...if he's available for cheap then why not? If he doesn't pick up the system or shows at ude problems he can be waived. This is a very simple concept.
And to everyone who thinks the Spurs won't stray from their "high character players" image...Nick Van Exel, Damon Stoudemire...and those guys combined don't have the talent Marbury has.
You're obviously ignoring the fact that he's not playing RIGHT NOW and the Knicks are way better than they were, with the exact same roster with the exception of Duhon.
By the way, Marbury played 74, 60 and 82 games the three seasons before that and they averaged a scintillating 29 wins per year. Did you happen to check the record for those 24 games he played in last year?
I don't find it remotely strange; guess who Isiah's favorite player was...
Chandler, Collins, Crawford, Lee, Randolph, Richardson, Robinson and Rose are all still there. Either that means Chris Duhon of the 8 ppg and 6 apg >>>> Marbury or, like you said, you fail to see how it's Marbury's fault.
Sounds familiar, almost word for word. Where did I hear that? Oh yeah, I'm the one who said it yesterday right before I mentioned that it's completely irrelevant.
Since he won't ever be available for cheap, then it's a moot argument. There's not a guy currently on the roster I'd cut for him, particularly with Malik Hairston sitting out there.
Marbury would be an upgrade over Vaughn. Marbury >Van Exel>Stoudamire.
If what Marbury says is true then he should just take a little paycut so that the Knicks could buy him out. He wants every penny of his contract this year and the knicks dont want to pay all of it. Thats why the hold up is going on right now. Whos going to blink first. It has NOTHING to do with him being a cancer to this team. Its about money. Plus Dantoni has NEVER liked Stephon, even back to his Phoenix days.
Dantoni traded Marbury years ago. So theres already a little animosity going on. Spurs need a scorer desperately. Marbury would be ideal for our needs right now. No spurs fans if he were to join he would not destroy this team, You think Pop or Tim is going to let that happen??? be in Pops doghouse before you can say "STARbury".
Whoever here says they wouldnt sign marbury for the cheap if he was available doesnt know what theyre are talking about. Escpecially in the spurs situation at this moment. they need someone, anyone. Roll the dice with Marbury.
Did you ever stop and wonder WHY D'Antoni doesn't like the guy? Do you think he's that dumb in that he would not activate a player whom he thought could help his team? The guy has done nothing in New York but put up gawdy, empty numbers. Yet you think he's a freaking cure-all.
You act as though it's a perfect fit and it's far from it. Just because a guy can put up a bunch of points, doesn't make him a great fit for a team that prides himself on team chemstry and ball movement - something this guy knows nothing about.
And you're totally clueless about Pop's mantra - "get over yourself" - something Marbury clearly has not done. You're in deep denial as to the history of bad behavior associated with this guy. Everywhere he's been, other players have complained about his ball-hoggin', selfish style of play. Now you think because a player says "I found God", that all of a sudden he's a perfect fit. Sure, everybody deserves a second chance. But this guy was supposed to starting over, following his Minnesota stint, when he when to the Nets, then again with the Suns, then yet again with the Knicks. It's not going to happen - get over it.
Interesting...
Marbury And Walsh Begin Buyout Talks
Nov 14, 2008 7:14 AM EST
Friday's edition of the New York Post reports that Donnie Walsh and Stephon Marbury had 45 minutes of "prelminary discussions" about a contract buyout that would end Marbury's time as a Knick.
Marbury does not have an agent and was represented at the meeting by NBA Players Association attorney Hal Biagas.
Marc Berman cites a team source saying that Marbury could be a free-agent in a week.
According to a source, Marbury requested permission to talk with other clubs, a wish that Walsh is expected to grant soon.
The Heat and Celtics may have interest in bringing Marbury aboard. But as a condition of granting Marbury permission to find a new employer, Walsh may want Marbury to agree that he will not sign with an Eastern Conference team. Marbury reportedly would like to play for the Spurs.
The Knicks would be expected to sign Patrick Ewing Jr. to fill their available roster spot.
I read the above a few minutes ago. I find it kind of strange that they are willing to talk buyout now when before they said they would not agree to it. Just a couple of days ago, Steph stated he would love to come to SA. NY would only agree to buyout his contract if he agrees not to play for an Eastern Conference team.
Hmm....
Just to remind you whom y`all talkin` about:
I`m curious about what he would say, if he`s going to play with Tim Duncan and ..eh.. this.. ..eh.. Leftie ..I Mean.. Argie ..eh.. Fabricio Oberto!
..You can`t beat that! - Yessir!
Looks like SENORSPUR's worst nightmare is looking more and more interesting. Like i said in my other post, Marbury will be bought out for the right price.
I just want to say that IF, and thats a BIG IF Marbury were to be a spur, i know alot of these gnay sayers are going to jump on the Marbury wagon really quick. Pop is desperate at this point and needs a star player who can play with this current squad.
Marbury as a cancer and a destroyer is highly overrated and hopefully spurs fans can see that if the spurs pursue him.
At this point, spurs fans shouldnt be too picky about who they want on their roster..
It's a Low Risk/High Reward deal.
If he's willing to learn and do whatever it takes to win, then I'm sure spurs fans have nothing against that.
However..
If this guy starts to become the problem, I'm sure that Pop would be the first one to notice and cut this guy loose...
Remember, even if the spurs were to sign him, they wouldnt have to worry about a buy-out as big as the knicks would have to pay.
That is if Marbury was serious about wanting to join the spurs...
Only time will tell.
Spurs fans should be excited if anything. This guy is proven. Roll the dice Pop, Roll the dice
Even if the Knicks do blink first and buy him out, we'll see if your Starbury "wet dream" comes to pass. Especially considering there are likely other teams that are more desparate to land him. You underestimate Pop's desparation if you think he's salivating over this guy.
If your wet dream does come to pass, you can drive the bandwagon on your own.
on the olympic team 2004, he had no problems playin under pop who was assistant anyway....
put him in a different environment, a winning environment could change him.....dude has not known what it feels like to win or be surrounded by guys who have won.
