"A source close to the situation has said there has been absolutely no verbal commitment between the Celtics and disgruntled New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury. The source went on to say the two sides have spoken (the Knicks gave Marbury permission to talk with other clubs), and that the Celts would definitely like to add him under the right circumstances. However, the club is not prepared to give him major playing time (Boston Herald)."
A lot of people are excited by the thought of Marbury coming to the Celtics, and it's driving me crazy. This guy is nothing but a cancer. He isn't even on the Celtics and he's causing problems. Obviously Marbury's going to try to use the Celtics as leverage so the Knicks will give him a buyout. Even if that happens, do you really think it will change him? He's going to want a lot of playing time. If he doesn't get it, he will rip apart this locker room in no time. The Celtics may need some bench help, but this isn't the answer, adding guys like Marbury will just mess up the good things the Celtics have been able to create over the past two years. Pierce, Garnett, and Allen have all given up a little bit to make the team better, and Marbury will do the exact opposite. That's what he's done his whole career. No one matters more to Starbury than Starbury.
