Oh, Jesus.
If the New York Knicks part ways with Stephon Marbury, Marbury said that the San Antonio Spurs would be at the top of his list of preferred destinations, the New York Post is reporting.
"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.

Speculation like this comes around every time a player is out on, or about to be out on, the market. San Antonio always seems to get mentioned.
Marbury has been a cancer on the Knick team...not to mention overpaid...so naturally, I hope he doesn't come here....and I doubt he will.
If it DOES happen though, who knows. Maybe being on a positive team like the Spurs, and having a coach like Pop would be enough to change his tune.
having Marbury on the team would stunt Hill's development, which, in the long term, is bad for the Spurs. Short term effects does not need mentioning since we can all come up with the worse case scenarios on our own.
Every player who has been in the process of moving between teams in the last 5+ years has at some point casually mentioned the Spurs, either directly or via rumors.
This is probably another smoke-screen by his agent to increase Marbury's value in the market.
Marbury can want us all he wants. I think it's one way affection. Pop got a good close look at him surrounded by stars in Athens and epic failing in 2004. Steph will be in the next plane to Miami when his contract gets worked out.
He can't be worse than bonner and finley
Marbury doesn't have an agent.
that's where you're wrong, Bonner and Finley are just useless... Marbury is detrimental.
Everything bad about Marbury has come from the mouths of Isiah Thomas, Larry Brown and Mike D'Antonio. Yes, I can see why I should believe everything these three guys say. If Marbury can give us that instant offense trigger that they were looking for with Salim then I am for it. Marbury would see more time at shooting guard and would not stunt Hill. It might be the end for Vaughn and limit Udoka to small forward minutes. Farmer would be the guy who gets cut if this were to happen. It is worth the chance.
For once, we need talent. We are done having nice guys with no talent. Yes to Marbury.
+1
And If he is not ready to play then he's not going to play.I'll take even the devil before than JV
Marbury or Vaughn.....hm, that's a tough decision....but I'd take Stephon and say BYE to Jacque, if he's the player we should cut.
Marbury > Stoudamire
I think I've had enough of these Nick Van Exel projects, thank you.
he is delusional.
It seems he beleives if he goes to Spurs he would get prime minutes next to DUncan
no thanks
Same here. Even though Starbury has more natural talent and ability than any of the "end-of-life" vets that Pop has brought in over the past few years, the fact remains is this guy is a bad chemistry and team cancer everywhere he's been. He plays a selfish brand of basketball that simply doesn't fit the Spurs team concept.
I wouldn't choose Marbury over Vaughn. Yeah Vaughn sucks and is worthless on the court but he can be a good role model for Hill. Vaughn is a professional that works hard and has good character. As long as he doesn't play he is valuable to the team. I'd rather have that than a guy that destroys team chemistry, no matter how much production he can have on the court.
If Mike D'Antoni is telling you to stay the away from his team, you know you got problems.
ahhhhhh!!!
For those who are touting Marbury-to-the-Spurs, what do you expect is to happen when TP and Manu come back from injury? Do you really expect Starbury will he happy coming of the bench behind anyone. No matter how talented is he, do you really expect him to "blend in". Also, think about the logjam that will ensue with Pop trying to find minutes for TP, Mason, Hill, Manu, Finley and Starbury.
There's no doubt Starbury is talented and can score. My issue is that he's an utterly selfish ball player, who's been a bad personality fit everywhere he's been. Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't want this guy on the team if he were to play for free.
I would like to play Marbury instead of Jacque. He has more talent. Pop took on guys like Nick the not so Quick and Damon Stoudemire. Why wouldn't he take a chance for one season on Marbury?
You all are crazy. You act like Marbury is gonig to destroy this team after 6 years of being together.
I told you guys already. He will bring offense and more fire power that this team lacks!
Whats the big deal?? You think a guy like Marbury is going to destroy this team with guys like Pop,Tim,Bruce and Manu on this team??
I know he wants to win now. I think hes out to change everyones viewpoint on him. As a die hard spurs fan i say YES!! NO doubt. I encourage this organization to go after him IF he gets bought out.
Bad comparisons. Those were at the end of their careers, but they weren't necessarily considered team cancers. Marbury is extremely more talented than either, but is a freakin' malcontent.
Besides, unless the Knicks buy him out and release him outright, the prospects are moot anyway.
