Title: Stephon Marbury to Boston?
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on January 03, 2009, 01:19:44 PM: Word on the streets is that Marbury might be headed to Boston...how do you think this will affect the team? I honestly think it's something they really need at the moment. If he can come off the bench and provide a nice spark for 20 mins or so, this'll definitely work out. Should be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Boston has actually expressed interest.

He could make a difference when the rest of team struggles in scoring.. but he should never be some sort of leader of this team

When Boston visits Madison Square Garden Sunday, Stephon Marbury won't be wearing Boston Celtics green.

The banished Marbury said he would be "honored" to play for the Celtics, admitted they are on his short list, but denied an ESPN.com report he has made a decision to join Boston if he gets released by the New York Knicks, according the New York Post.

Marbury said Boston has not made an offer. A source close to the situation said the Celtics wouldn't be Marbury's No. 1 choice either because of the limited role, backing up emerging point guard Rajon Rondo.

Another source said Celtics president Danny Ainge has interest in Marbury, as has been reported here since the summer, but Ainge wonders if a buyout will ever be worked out. Marbury prefers to join a playoff-caliber team in a starting role, though the Celtics could be the pick if his only options require coming off the bench.

i thought about that; but Steph has to send the right message to show he can still contribute for a team.

Post by: F-cisco on January 04, 2009, 07:27:54 AM: Steph is relatively young and can still contribute. Dude hasn't played much in the past two seasons. His got a fresh pair of legs(no homo). Detroit has expressed interest as well.
