I know some of you might be hesitant to bring a bona fide head case to the team, but I think it’s one of those out-of-left-field moves that will help propel this team to a repeat run. True, we still need some size, but a scoring guard like Marbury could ...

Well, Steph never stepped on the floor for the Knicks. Yet, according to recent reports, I don't need to worry about him playing for the once and possibly future rivals in Miami. Which is a relief. Instead, I need to brace myself for Marbury winning an NBA title with the Boston Celtics. ...

Marbury_2 According to ESPN.com's Marc Stein , Stephon Marbury could- eventually- be doing his thing in Boston for the Celtics. When amounts to an open question, but should Marbury extricate himself from his contract with the Knicks, there's a good chance we now know his landing place. (For a nice roundup of the implications, check out this post on TrueHoop .) The Celtics could use a second ball handling/scoring guard to play behind Rajon Rondo and shore up a thin bench. On paper, by definition they're a more talented team with Marbury than without. ...

Apparently disgruntled knucklehead Stephon Marbury wants to play for the Celtics and gravy-train a ring from KG like Paul Pierce did. And not surprisingly, the Celtics are interested in Marbury.
First of all, as a Laker fan, I hope the Celtics sign Marbury. I know you always have to try to make your team better, even if it’s already the best in the NBA, but this is subtraction by addition. The Celtics, while not incredibly deep, have a nice rotation and awesome chemistry. Marbury has to make it ...
