Marbury not likely to return

It appears that Stephon Marbury is sharing the same thoughts as now-former teammate Leon Powe. The Celtics offered Marbury a 1-year, 1.3 million dollar contract, but that doesn't appear to be what he had hoped for:

Celtics free agent guard Stephon Marbury said to The Globe early Friday morning that he doesn't expect to be returning to Boston after receiving a disappointing one-year contract paying $1.3 million using the veteran's minimum. Marbury said his representative, National Basketball Players Association deputy counsel Hal Biagas, called to tell him about the Celtics offer on Thursday night. The 32-year-old said three other teams, which he would not disclose, are currently interested.
