No No No; Marbury to San Antonio?

[benefactor]

I don't know why we keep entertaining this. To think that Marbury will go from a 20 million dollar payday to a 2 million dollar payday is pure insanity. He said he wants to come here...fine. Wake me up when our FO actually shows some interest.

[MoSpur]

I agree with xtremeSteven and RayRay. Spurs can't be too picky right now. The Spurs need help especially if Parker is out for more than a month. I love the fact of George Hill getting to start and getting some valuable experience right now, but I wouldn't mind Steph being a backup PG or SG for the Spurs right now because he has talent when it comes to putting the ball in the hole.

I feel that IF he does somehow land with the Spurs, a lot of these fans on here who were all against might change their minds like xtremeSteven said. The Spurs defense is getting back to norm, but they need help offensively. Steph can provide that.

[benefactor]

Spurs fans should be excited if anything. This guy is proven. Roll the dice Pop, Roll the dice

A proven 32% three point shooter...which is something he would be required to do in our system.

[hater]

This guy is proven.

yeah, a proven asshole and terrible teammate.

anyhow this ain't gonna happen. keep dreaming though

[Big P]

Guaranteed...if Marbury gets bought out & the Spurs DO NOT sign him, he will sign with one of our conference rivals & bone us every chance he gets.

[MoSpur]

It seems like it always happens that way. LOL. I wouldn't be upset if he didn't end up with the Spurs. I think the Spurs are okay without him, but also think the Spurs could use his help. I'm good either way.

[hater]

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!

"we gotta a youthier player"

[SenorSpur]

"we gotta a youthier player"

Priceless....yet, at the same time, unfreakinbelieveable

If he honestly believed what he spouted, it's another example of his horrendously, low basketball IQ. There should be no mysteries as to why this guy has never had any team success.

[rayray2k8]

Well since we're posting youtube vids, might as well use this one....
It's either this guy or J.V..

[jag]

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?

Due to your blatant obsession with the guy, haven't bothered to take a peek at their overall record last year, have you? Your logic is like that of a small child. I'll keep it simple.

Fact: The knicks won 23 games last year.
Fact: Marbury played in 24 total games last year.
Fact: They were terrible with or without Marbury.

1. He was playing, they were terrible
2. He was riding the bench, they were terrible.
3. They have a new coach, and a new system (with a similar roster) and he's still riding the bench...they're much improved.
4. The new coach, new head of basketball operations, and completely new system on both offense and defense are the only real differences from last year.

Put it together, sweetheart.

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.

When talking about him possibly playing on a team that cannot score,
you consider Marbury's talent (one of the best offensive players in the league) irrelevent? ok

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.

Sure it's a moot argument, but half of the garbage we discuss here are moot arguments.

Hypothetically speaking, if Marbury were bought out of his contract and was willing to sign for the minimum i'd like to see the Spurs go after him.

Did you really just mention "Malik Hairston"? I don't even like Marbury, but you're just being ridiculous.

[I. Hustle]

The Spurs so far this year are getting youthier

[xtremesteven33]

People here who would rather have Vaughn/Hill over marbury should be taken to the shed....if you catch my drift

you gonna take Pop and whole Spurs organization to the shed??

[galvatron3000]

I expect the Spurs to make a run for his services if he gets bought out. I think him being a cancer to a young team is a reasonable thought but Tim, Bowen, Ginobili and Parker are the leaders not to mention Pop with Finley being a respected vet, he can't cause problems with those guys and survive. He'll be ok in Silver and Black. It's a risk worth taking and I don't believe Marbury is as bad now as he was years prior, just was in a horrible environment. I'd like to see him change scenery like Artest and come what may. He's definately be useful at his moment with what we have now. Get in game shape and we look very good down the stretch though the Laker and Jazz are the teams to gun for in the West.

Thank you.

Amazed here that some spurs fans would rather tank the season then sign marbury at an attempt to save it.....A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[urunobili]

well look at the positive side if it happens... the starbury steve and barry's cheap collection would start going out in Spurs colors... therefore... buyable

[dbestpro]

The one point that is over looked on Marbury is that he has averaged nearly 8 assists per game over his career. We have no one who can do that healthy or otherwise.

Turnovers and wins are stats, too.

[galvatron3000]

He automatically become the second best player off the bench after Ginobili so yeah with a veteran team like SA I have confidence he'd be more an asset than distraction. Any distractions in SA will hit the door anyway and most players want to use SA as a springboard after their time is up or want to resign. He'll be fine.

[crc21209]

I say bring his ass on, and if he s up, oh well cut his ass. But no way he s up here with Bruce, Tim, Pop and some of the other veterans around. I think he'll want to prove his doubters wrong and show that he can play and still has something left in the tank. Do it!

I was just curious after reading the comments, so I checked it out. The Knicks went 6-18 (24%) with Marbury in the lineup and 17-41 (29%) without him last season.

[m33p0]

there is another reason why Pop would sign Marbury: to keep him away from the other western teams.

Personally I hope he ends up a Laker. I don't normally root for opponents to have bad luck but the Spurs need something to buy them a little time.

[duncan228]

Report: Knicks, Marbury talking buyout

[angelbelow]

It's either this guy or J.V..

this video doesnt make me sad because mabury hit the shot but it does make me sad that drob is no longer around.

and damn that lineup is intense parker/ginobili/sjax/duncan/drob
