Marbury Could Make the Celtics Worse


No harm intended but adding Stephon Marbury to the Boston Celtics now could be a recipe for disaster. The controversial guard who seems to be missing in action for close to a year right now is still in arrears with the New York Knicks and with the trade deadline fast approaching, Marbury has made it known that he is open to rejoining Kevin Garnett.

The Celtics are pursuing him but maybe this is because they are in a slump. Losing 7 of their 9 games is not really something the Boston organization will be happy about but just the same, adding controversial manpower may disrupt the fluidity of their offense.

If the Celtics are indeed inclined to sign him up, it would be best to get him on board next season. If he is signed up now, chances are he may be riding more time on the bench to adjust to the new plays of Boston Coach Doc Rivers.

Knowing Stephon Marbury, we all know he is not fond of not getting playing time. Wasn’t that the reason why he had this conflict with the Knicks in the first place?
