LOL at people saying he might start at some point. Let's see...
Aging former superstar who has been a malcontent his whole career vs. young stud point guard who suffered from confidence problems at times.
Let's start Marbury!!!
Ahh, unfortunately you don't run the celtics because that would be great.
[QUOTE=niko]i mean next year, do you think marbury would come back for a small salary to be a role player or would he just stay home. of course this year he'd come back, he's actually getting 20 million this year, not the small amount.
if things worked out well for the celtics maybe, but i wonder how appealing a 2 million a year bench role is for marbury long term.[/QUOTE]
It's not up to Marbury. He'll be offered contract based on how well he plays. If he plays like a good bench player the caliber of Stackhouse the year Dallas went to the Finals, or Grant Hill now, he'll probably be offered a decent contract.
The idea that he won't be given a chance to play because of his off court antics makes me laugh. Talent is always more valued than chemistry in sports. Head cases with talent can always get a job.

To be honest, you know who should have signed Marbury? The Knicks.
Think about it. After the Knicks let him out of his contract, Walsh should have thought about resigning him. Don't the Knicks need help at the guard positions? Walsh probably could have just signed him to the veterans minimum. Then, if he starts to cause problems, Walsh could have just cut him because of his small contract. Very little risk.
I don't know, seems like a missed opportunity for Walsh and the Knicks. You would think if they resigned Marbury, Marbury would have something to prove......
[COLOR="White"]Yes, it's a joke.[/COLOR]
[QUOTE=Grinder]
I don't care about his attitude in the past and how he's a team cancer, that won't fly with guys like Pierce and KG around. [/QUOTE]
:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:
I'm sick of those lame worms of "experts" talking their philosophy bullish "expertise" about the cancer that Steph is and bla bla bla.
Those guys I swear man, I would shoot em.
WHO the hell is Marbury to disrupt Celtics chemistry?
If he makes A MOVE that doesn't comply with Rivers' plan - he is BENCHED and after the game KG will probably stuff him in the trunk and drive him around town and drop him off a cliff.
But all these idiots writing **** like "Marbury will be a selfish player, he's gonna screw up Celtics' chemistry"
Gimme a break. :violin:

They may get a job, but at significantly less that what their talent level suggests they should be making.

Again, history shows otherwise. How many times are you gonna make me repeat it? Why don't you show some actual facts to support this?
Marbury is a what? 33 year old player who was once a star and hasn't played ball in over a year. At 33 years of age, he isn't WORTH more than what he got.
Even if he stepped into Boston and put up 20 points and 10 assists a night (which isn't likely, btw) and was as good as a saint, he would still only get a 2-3 year deal tops.
Mathius
[QUOTE=Mathius]Yeah, right. :rolleyes:
As long as GM's believe he still has talent he'll get a job. It's a historical given. Look at the Dallas Cowboys, Latrell Sprewell, Michael Vick (the 49ers have already been rumored to be interested), etc.
Mathius[/QUOTE]
Wow.....I finally agree with him.....its kinda strange... LoL :cheers:
Marbury signing with the Celtics is the best news that the Hawks could wish for.
I could careless what people think about Marbury. He's a talented player, on a talented team that went all the way last season. It's going to be very exciting to watch him play. Can't wait. :cheers:
I think this is a great addition clearly he understands what an opportunity this is. Despite all of his previous problems I think the Celtics Big 3 and Doc won't take any bs from him.
:applause:
I think this will work out better than people think. The chemistry with this team is tight knit enough where ONE out of line player isnt going to destroy the entire thing. They have solid players, solid leadership, and a solid environment. I see this working out for the celtics.
bad move marbury. why move to a team that's doesn't have a chance to get by cleveland in the playoff's. you just joined a team that isn't gonna be in the NBA finals. someone tell me why you would do that?:no: :confusedshrug:

Thank you homer. Your insights toward the defending champs are laughable. :roll:

i'm in no way saying he wouldn't be offered a job. i agree with you 100%. my point is just i could see him out of the league, similar to sprewell in that the valuation of his time and talent by himself and by the league won't match each otehr anymore.
Starbury knew his salary well. I'm wondering if he'd play if his salary was 10th larges on the team. (this year is different, he's a $20 million player just not playing for the team paying him)
[QUOTE=TheGame]Thank you homer. Your insights toward the defending champs are laughable. :roll:[/QUOTE]
last year the cavs did not have mo williams, jj hixon, and delonte west. the majority of their team have had the best years of their careers this year. their perimeter shooting was their achilles heel last year and now they are one of the best in the league in that area. they have played great this year. the defending champs last year will not make it to the finals this year. if they do, i will stop posting stuff on this website.:D
what a shame that a piece of garbage like this is accepted by a legit team.
now i trust that the hope of every true NBA fan is that boston crashes and burns this year because of a signing like this.
little more needs be said...
too bad the celtics won last year. cavs are a better team and will not lose to them this year. maybe next year kg, but not this year. :no:

u took the words right out of my mouth. except, the celtics weren't the best team before either. lol:rockon:
Maybe it's just me but i feel like the Cavs fans got a even bigger mouth than the Lakers fans these days.
why are cavs fans (not all of them) but i've ran into more then a handful of them that have become very over confident. Where does there over confidence come from if anyone deserves to be over confident i'll say it is Laker fans but even they have not gone over board the way some Cavs fan have despite being a more proven team going to the finals last year and what not. What exactly has this Cavs team proven?

w.e. all that matters is the cavs are gonna win the finals this year, no questions asked

that they are just as good, if not better than any team in the league. cavs fan have a reason to be confident
Let's hope he screws that team up. :cheers:
[QUOTE=hofe23]w.e. all that matters is the cavs are gonna win the finals this year, no questions asked[/QUOTE]
It's good to have dreams, realizing them is a whole other chapter. Cavs are a great team, a legit contender, but they aren't the only big boys on the block. It's not certain that they will win, especially with the Lakers and Celtics. If you're only going to share your biased opinion, go to the cavs sub forums. This is the NBA Forums, where we talk about the entire NBA, not just 1 team.
[QUOTE=D-Rose]Let's hope he screws that team up. :cheers:[/QUOTE]
the celtics obviously are a good team. i admit that. but stephon marbury is 33 and i dont think he's gonna be able to screw them up, or make them better.
[QUOTE=hofe23]w.e. all that matters is the cavs are gonna win the finals this year, no questions asked[/QUOTE]
In your dreams that is.
[QUOTE=hofe23]that they are just as good, if not better than any team in the league. cavs fan have a reason to be confident[/QUOTE]
Well don't be mad if u don't make the finals again this year.
KG-Stephon reunited :cheers:
Happiest day since he was drafted -
He was drafted by the Bucks and dealt immediately.
Players police the players - coach doesn't .
Then Coach Rivers isn't important :confusedshrug:
If celtic's don't win it all = they now have an excuse. :pimp:
I just knew he was going to sign with the celtics.:D
....And the fun begins....
"Rajon Rondo found in his bedroom today with a knife through his chest."
This is going to help the Celtics greatly. Having another point gaurd in their rotation. Marbury still has game in him too.

In the Regular season we'll find out about more about the Cavs in the playoffs. Mo Williams has little playoff experience so does Delonte West even their franchise player isn't known for stepping up his game in the 2nd season. Therefore the Cavs seem to be unproven as it gets, however; Cav fans should be confident they do have a really good contending team but what you and some other Cav fans are saying not confidence but arrogance.
Marbury being your best player is a bad idea.
Marbury being your fifth best player on the other hand is great. I think he'll perform very well in Boston. And that kinda sucks.
Boston is so talented
By the end of the season, I expect to see Marbury widely acknowledged as the best back-up point guard in the league. One game isn't enough to be 100% sure, but he doesn't appear to have lost his game, and as he gets his legs back (he stayed in shape but there's no substitute for playing) he's going to excel.

Is there a reason why you've decided to reply to me today, or are you just boosting your post count? I'd rather not be dealing with someone that has no interesting point to make, your attempts at sarcasm are about as subtle as a sledgehammer...and half as clever.
