The Cavs would've loved to have Posey, but you can't overpay role players. (Could you imagine Posey on this team? Dear lord...)<BR/><BR/>But Boston, well, they could afford to be overpaying a bench player in a few years, because they won't be that good anyway. They'll all be old and past their primes.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-86474860936201041432009-01-08T17:04:00.000-05:002009-01-08T17:04:00.000-05:00The problem with the "new" Marbury is he's certifi...The problem with the "new" Marbury is he's certifiably insane. I hate to go all Bill Simmons, but have you ever been to a party or some kind of social function and there's that nutty guy who wherever he goes brings a really uncomfortable vibe into the room, and you talk to people later and it turns out everyone noticed it? That's Stephon Marbury right now. <BR/><BR/>But, Danny Ainge is a moron so he just might actually do it. He completely lucked into the KG deal, and Hardwood Paroxysm brought up a good point the other day - why would you get rid of Posey, who was huge in the playoff run and actually guarded LeBron decently, when you know your windown of opportunity with the Big 3 is so short? Add on top of that their acquisition this offseason was Patrick O'Bryant, a total stiff. Now, I know they don't have much space, but they certainly could've brought in someone more productive. <BR/><BR/>The more you look at the Celtics, the more you're unafraid. Now that being said, I think this is would be a big win for them if they could knock off the Cavs in Cleveland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-11912001716503693192009-01-08T16:16:00.000-05:002009-01-08T16:16:00.000-05:00re: Marbury.

Remember, he <I>did</I> have some pretty good on court chemistry with KG in their time in Minnesota. Of course, Marbury's hurt feelings over KG's contract led Stephon to bolt (and basically dooming KG's tenure in Minny to mediocrity). <BR/><BR/>As for Miles, I wonder how he'd do on a contending team. Who knows what he can give you. His gift was always athleticism. It wasn't like he had a sweet jumper or a great handle- he was a leaper (well, not that bad, but more or less).Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-66616969928294637692009-01-08T15:41:00.000-05:002009-01-08T15:41:00.000-05:00Some Boston fans are in favor of the Celtics signi...Some Boston fans are in favor of the Celtics signing Darius Miles because obviously he can't be any worse than the rest of their bench, right?<BR/><BR/>Good to see Cleveland fans aren't alone in the hilarious overreaction category.<BR/><BR/>Please, please let the Celtics sign Darius Miles and Stephon Marbury. The look on KG's face the first time Steph chucks a 25-footer instead of passing to him in the post will be priceless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
