Well since we're posting youtube vids, might as well use this one....
It's either this guy or J.V..
I don't think that headline really conveys the substance of the story.

at 1.06, it's said that we lost that game cause of ''lack of experiece''......I gues we were really young back then!
They did talk, it's just not going to go anywhere.I don't think that headline really conveys the substance of the story.
It's an AP, I couldn't post the article.
Do it give him a low money 1 or 2 year contract(max). I know its risky, but putting him in a reserve role once Tony comes back will give him a chance to prove that he's a team player. Plus, we would probably end up doing a trade for a big this year, with players no longer needed with Marbury around, or with Marbury himself after this season.
There's all these trades and signigns floating around out there, and I think the Spurs are gonna snag somebody along the course of the season.
Western Conference
Don't dare compare Stephon Marbury to Stephen Jackson.
Just because Jackson was not your typical, reserved Spur back in 2003 when he helped San Antonio win a championship -- and just because Marbury did a little lobbying this week for consideration from the injury-ravaged Spurs if he becomes a free agent -- that doesn't mean you should expect to see Marbury's name on a list of potential fill-ins for sidelined Tony Parker.
Gregg Popovich got a lot out of Jackson in '03 and expressed interest in reuniting with Latrell Sprewell in recent years after coaching Spree in the early 1990s as a Golden State assistant. But I think we can safely say that Marbury is in a different category, which should explain why, based on everything I've heard, Steph won't be considered by the Spurs no matter how thin they seem while waiting for Parker and Manu Ginobili to heal.
If you're looking for a Texas team that will give Marbury a real look, NBA front-office sources say it's Dallas. Mavs owner Mark Cuban has a friendly relationship with Marbury, and Cuban's team clearly needs more scoring off its punchless bench. With Jason Terry operating primarily as a shooting guard these days, J.J. Barea is Dallas' primary backup to Jason Kidd at the point.
At this point, though, club sources say that the Mavs have merely resolved to talk with Marbury and consider the option if Steph continues to progress toward a buyout with the Knicks. There will be inevitable hesitations about what Marbury would do to the Mavs' chemistry -- which isn't looking terribly solid under new coach Rick Carlisle -- and louder questions about how he'd fit as an understudy to Kidd after those two were swapped for each other in the summer of 2000, after which Kidd led the Nets to back-to-back appearances in the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003.

Anyone see this photo?
you'd be relying on something that is entirely out of your control. but yeah, i can already see it happening.
Marbury Wants All His Money From Knicks
Nov 15, 2008 6:56 AM EST
After being treated like an outcast for the entire season to date, Stephon Marbury is not about to do the New York Knicks any financial favors.
According to the New York Daily News, Marbury reiterated Friday that he is not giving up any of his $21.9 million salary, which is something that chairman James Dolan does not want to do.
When asked about possibly taking less from the Knicks, Marbury said to a reporter, "If I owed you $100 and I said I'm going to give you $80, what would you say?"
According to one team source, Marbury and GM Donnie Walsh have met at least four times since the start of the season but Thursday's sit-down was the first time that Marbury had been accompanied by lawyers.

why in would any of you want Turdbury, unless you want a black hole on offense that shoots right around 40%
not to mention it would stunt the development of Hill, no thanks.
I welcome Marbury, and I hope he gets every penny that his CONTRACT says the Knicks owe him. Honoring a contract, wow what a new concept. Sheesh, you don't have to like the guy but he signed a contract and so did the Knicks, give hi his money and release him or trade him if you want to move on, if not who cares. Sign him Pop, most of us will get over it, I assure you.
Report: Knicks, Marbury talking buyout-(AP)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html
Forget Dallas, Golden State, Miami. Stephon Marbury and San Antonio an interesting, odd couple match
NBA news mixed with analysis …
Their News: Who wouldn’t want to play for San Antonio?" Marbury told The Post last night. "To play with Tim Duncan, who would complain about that? That’s a great organization, they win championships. They have a nice system and I like (Gregg) Popovich as coach. I can play 1 or the 2. If I was a free agent, yeah."
Spurs general manager R.C. Buford has said he may look for a point guard after losing Tony Parker for a month. The only point guards on the roster are rookie George Hill, who started last night, and Jacque Vaughn. Donnie Walsh is not ready to waive Marbury. (New York Post)
Our Very Quick Analysis: For the longest time, I couldn’t see it. And didn’t want to see it. Coney Island’s flash and the Alamo’s efficiency seemed an odd match, an Oscar and Felix type situation.
These are drastic times for Stephon Marbury and San Antonio. ‘Starbury’ is an afterthought with his hometown New York Knicks; a perpetual DNP-CD, sitting on the sideline in the finest twenty million dollar per season suit money can buy.
And after Marbury brought lawyers to Friday’s sitdown with Knick President Donnie Walsh, it’s clear a buyout is coming. And fast.
In Texas, the Republicans aren’t the only ins ution to lose big. The Spurs, after several seasons atop the Western Conference, have struggled to a poor record. Worst of all, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, their second and third best players, are out long-term.
Yes, drastic times, indeed. Will Marbury and San Antonio take the drastic measure of joining forces?
It’s possible. Marbury needs a change. Any change will do. So expect the former All-Star to continue flirting with the Spurs and other potential suitors via the media.
San Antonio, however, is a different story. Their emphasis on character is commendable, but they need to tweak their roster. Coach Gregg Popovich must decide if Marbury’s talent offsets his baggage.
Of course, ‘Pop’ and his crew would provide Marbury an opportunity at redemption. If he fits-in and helps the former champs then his battered reputation gets a much-needed lift.
Dallas, Golden State, and Miami are the frontrunners for the former All-Star. San Antonio also makes sense –and not just for Marbury. Like I said, drastic times call for drastic measures.
Nothing new from this story.
If he really wanted to change his situation he would, but it looks like money is just too much of a priority. Sorry xtremesteven...your man love for him will not be enough to get him in a Spurs uni. He(and his still selfish at ude) will ride the bench for the rest of the season and and collect his 20 million.
Hmm.....And after Marbury brought lawyers to Friday’s sitdown with Knick President Donnie Walsh, it’s clear a buyout is coming. And fast.
First of all, the reporter couldn't help himself and take a shot at the Republicans. Whatever dude!!
Again....so many people are writing off this team only after 8 games into a new season. Whatever again!! I can see the write-ups in Feb or March....THE SPURS ARE NOT DONE YET!!!!! Same ol'crap from the media.
Now to Marbury....of course his scoring and playmaking ability will be welcomed in SA. But (and this is a Kim Kardashian's big butt!!!) will he want to play under a structured environment like Pop has built for the past 15 years. Also, Pop and R.C. would go to Duncan to get his input as well. One of the big keys to the Spurs success is being able to get their franchise player to buy into the program.
So if Duncan is cool with it and if Marbury could follow Pop's structure and be a contributor off the bench and if he wants to sign the LLE. Then go for it!!
However, that is a lot of ifs and I don't want to stop George Hill's development.
I can't believe there has been this many posts about something that's never going to happen.
I'm all for signing Marbury if the opportunity presents itself. There's really nothing to lose. If he doesn't add to the team... you let him go. You've lost very little. But if he can rediscover is former level of performance, he could be a BIG piece to the puzzle.
We could use more depth at the point, and he can play at the 2 and give us another scoring threat in the back court. I think it's a no-brainer. If he's available, you've got to sign him.
I don't know why you're so certain about that. The Knicks look like they're almost certainly going to buy him out. Marbury wants to play for the Spurs... and the Spurs could certainly use him.
That's not what Marbury has said...
What exactly is the difference between getting waived and getting bought out?
It's a business. They aren't revealing what's happening behind closed doors.
If they waive him they have to pay the whole 20 million. A buyout is an amount that is less that both parties agree on to terminate the contract.
Marbury is not at the tail end of his career... hes 31..
Sounds real positive...When asked about possibly taking less from the Knicks, Marbury said to a reporter, "If I owed you $100 and I said I'm going to give you $80, what would you say?"
