Is Marbury A Good Fit?
Yesterday I reported that Marbury will be joining the Celtics once he clears waivers. Now it's time we take a serious look at this.
Pros:
Sure handled guard
Instant offense
Strong guard
6-2 but can guard many shooting guards
Can create his own offense with penetration
Can help Eddie House when it comes to full court pressure
With Tony Allen out for the rest of the year, I trust him more than Pruitt
Sells awesome shoes
Head tattoo
Cons:
Eratic play
He's a dickhead
Defense is a question
Attitude is a question
Hasn't played in over a year
A majority of his cons have to deal with his attitude. If he can realize that the Celtics don't need "Starbury" and can embrace the back-up roll, there should be no problem. Also, he will need to commit to the defensive end, he can defend if he wants to, but since the Celtics are a defensive minded team, he needs to take in what Tom T is going to rant about. The reason why this is going to work is because Marbury needs Boston a lot more than Boston needs him. He knows that, and everyone knows that. Marbury could be playing for a final contract in his NBA career, he needs to be on his best behavior and be a great teammate if he wants to play again. So I will take it, and see how it goes.
