Wow..
Just what the Celts needed. More ego on a single team.
Good luck.
I have no link, just this post from Fox Sports Laker site:
Boston stations are reporting the Celtics signed Marbury.
Wow..

Good luck.
Hope it's true.
How could he have been signed when he hasn't even been waived/bought out yet?
Sounds like big news though.
Maybe he had a deal pendng a buyout? As I said, it needs confirmation. Here's hoping a Boston resident watching the news will chime in and verify.
How?
This is crap! As if the Celtics needed more firepower. Now they have four potential all-star calibur players. Celtics might even have enough to beat the Dream Team now. Our only hope is that Garnett and Marbury blow the team up arguing between themselves.
Well, something is awry here, here's the guy's whole post from Fox Sports, made a few minutes before I started this thread. I only caught it, because I posted right after him and saw it. Times are Pacific Standard Time.
Now, here is his post made 2 minutes later on the Celtic page. Note the "signing" report is missing:
oh.
That guy made every Boston sports reference possible.
I hope it's true too.
Ok, more information, I asked Colorado Kobe if he left the signing report off his Celtic page post because he might be pulling our chains, and he replied with more information:
The same guy is reporting the Knicks just signed LeBron James . . .
From the NY Post, but it's from this morning, before Lakers 55's timing.
MARBURY DENIES REPORT HE'S DECIDED ON BOSTON
When Boston visits the Garden tomorrow, Stephon Marbury won't be wearing Celtics green.
The banished Marbury said he would be "honored" to play for the Celtics, admitted they are on his short list, but denied an ESPN.com report he has made a decision to join Boston if he gets released by the New York Knicks .
Marbury said Boston has not made an offer. A source close to the situation said the Celtics wouldn't be Marbury's No. 1 choice either because of the limited role, backing up emerging point guard Rajon Rondo.
Another source said Celtics president Danny Ainge has interest in Marbury, as has been reported here since the summer, but Ainge wonders if a buyout will ever be worked out. Marbury prefers to join a playoff-caliber team in a starting role, though the Celtics could be the pick if his only options require coming off the bench.
Marbury threw bouquets the Celtics' way yesterday.
"If the world champions have interest, how can I not?" Marbury told The Post in a phone interview from Minneapolis, where he visited his cousin, Sebastian Telfair. "I would be honored to put on the white and green. The team that I am on has said they don't want me. I want to move on with my career. And they should want to move on."
Nevertheless, Marbury said it's "nonsense" to discuss teams he might sign with, considering he is not close to being out of his deal.
Marbury expressed displeasure the Knicks continue to drag this out. Knicks president Donnie Walsh had said he would resolve the Marbury issue after Jan. 1. Marbury thought he would hear something yesterday, but last night Walsh said he plans to restart buyout talks next week when the Players Association officials return from vacation.
On the Boston report, Walsh said, "If there is an offer out there, maybe there's motivation (for Marbury) to do something."
Marbury said he is disappointed because he feels the Knicks have held him hostage because they don't want him to play in the East with either Boston or Miami. A source said Walsh and owner James Dolan did not want to buy out Marbury before training camp because they feared he would sign with either of those rivals.
"It shouldn't matter what team I play for because they said they had the team that would put them in the playoffs," Marbury said. "They don't want me anyway and (supposedly) I'm a cancer. It doesn't matter if I go to Boston, Orlando, Miami or the Lakers."
Walsh denied he doesn't want Marbury to sign with Boston, but admitted the Knicks prefer he doesn't go to a team they are competing with for the eighth seed. "Boston? No, I really don't mind Boston," Walsh said.
Asked about Miami, Walsh said, "That would be different."
The Knicks gave union attorney Hal Biagas permission to talk to teams on Marbury's behalf and Marbury gave him a list. Biagas has reached out to the Celtics, among others.
Marbury still defends his decision to decline coach Mike D'Antoni's offer Thanksgiving Eve to become the team's starting shooting guard. Marbury said he felt D'Antoni asked him to play only out of desperation following the trades. He didn't want to commit to a coach who does not believe in him. The Knicks still lack a backup point guard to Chris Duhon.
"We talk about this being a marathon, not a sprint," Marbury said. "You can't subs ute the runner after the race started."
No, he said they signed Shaq and Kobe.
thanks people for helping confirm or refute the story.
Marbury can't be signed until he is either "bought out" by or traded from the Celtics.
You think the pride of Donnie Walsh would let him sign with the record-setting Boston Celtics, a division rival?
I don't know about that.
The Celtics have pressed their luck enough as it is. Signing Marbury would be the whammy.
This will make or break the celtics I see no in between.
Celtics would be stupid to sign Cancerbury. A black hole with an ego.
This will either be the greatest thing for the Celtics or a complete disaster. I can't imagine Marbury is going to be happy for to long backing up Rondo.
Ainge you let Posey walk. Signing this piece of doesnt make up for it. DIE!
If this were true, there would be a link confirming it hours ago. They say it will happen eventually, but I wish people who post up like this elsewhere would clean out their ears and open their eyes. He probably heard a talk show discussing the possible deal. Sorry for the wasted thread, I was just trying to get a one-up for this board.
Wgas?
