Celtics Set to Sign Marbury

Stephon Marbury has cleared waivers, and the former New York Knicks guard should be in uniform for the Boston Celtics on Friday night to face the Indiana Pacers. According to the AP: Marbury, a former All-Star guard who alienated Knicks management, teammates and fans, was having his physical at the Celtics' suburban practice facility. He agreed to a buyout of his $20.8 million contract and was waived by New York on Tuesday. The Celtics were expected to sign him for a pro-rated share of the veteran's $1.3 million minimum."There's still a lot to be worked out," general manager Danny Ainge said. "I'm guessing it will all be done today. I'm hoping." Marbury, who turned 32 last week, hasn't played a regular-season game in more than a year. "I believe all systems are go and we will have Stephon on the roster later today," Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said in an e-mail to The Associated Press about an hour after Marbury cleared waivers....
