Marbury
Via the Globe: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. "Thank you Boston for allowing the world to see me play again after all that went on in N.Y.," said Marbury, via e-mail to The Globe. "The fans treated me with open arms and that's all anyone can ask for." If the Celtics we...

    Im surprised that Boston would offer him that little when A. They have no real legit back up PG and B. Doc really wants him back and Marbury wants to come back...Ainge has been buggin lately

      A. SMH, that is an excellent point. Need a legit backup, but preferably experienced. How bout' AI?

      B, I'm not a fan of Doc. Marbury had a couple good sputs, though not many. Maybe coming into camp from the beginning will help him play better. Danny is buggin, but he usually pulls something off. They never should have gotten rid of Posey though.

      A. Only thing about AI is he would have to accept a backup role..Marbury proved he could do that, AI hasn't..Like he said in Detroit, he rather retire than be a backup..But if push comes to shove he may have to be a back up..Thing is, If you offer Marbruy 1.3 million, what will you offer A.I.? Because he won't accept 1.3 million either...

      B. Posey asked for alot of money which is why Boston was reluctant to pay him..They did miss him but at the same time he didn't show much with the Hornets...Even if they do get Rasheed, Boston still has 2 issues, fixing the relationship between Rondo and Ainge and finding a legit back up for him...

      Ainge is slowing killing what he just built 2 summers ago and needs some major fixing soon

      He definitely needs to make some moves. What is the beef between Rondo and Ainge...

      Ainge had Rondo on the trading block the past few months and flirted with sending him to Detroit until the Pistons nixed it... He was also rumored to be in a trade to Sacramento and Phoenix as well...When asked why he was trying to trade him in a interview, he said that Rondo was a locker room problem and needs to get his head together(paraphrasing). But at the same time said he had no plans of trading him even though ESPN said it was confirmed that Detroit nixed the Rondo trade

    after talkin trash about the knicks and how they will never win a title with d'antoni he goes and proves he cares more about money than winning. what a joke.
    • SMH12289
      The joke is how much Boston just offered him..I mean that's less than the non playing guys on their roster right now..Of course Marbury should not re-sign after an offer like that

      i wasn't saying he should settle, it's just funny when he trashes his former team about how they'll never win the big one and then bolts from a title contender to get more moolah.

      Talkin trash? He just told the truth, he realized in Boston that defense wins championships...and I find it hard to believe anyone is willing to take a 19 million dollar paycut..

    Marbury has been, is, and will be forever a cancer.

    Maybe Marbury is set to stay because he never got a chance to play with KG. Maybe KG is a fan and is use to working with him. I think Mars can worry defenses with his jump shot, and it can't hurt to have a veteran drive the basket (even though refs don't like him lol). Celts need someone edgy, the Eye of the Tiger is gone.
  • mensker
    Yeah, I'm sure after assembling a championship team Danny really doesn't know what hes doing with Marbury...who is a joke..period.

    Marbury is more trouble than he's worth.
