Musings on Marbury
What if we could move Marbury during the season? No really, what if? Consider that you have two shooting guards to cover the minutes at the 2 spot. Barring injuries, is LB going to play Marbury at the 2? I don't think he wants to. If he doesn't, LB will have a PG who shoots too much for his liking. That's OK if you have real rebounding prowess, but we don't.
What if you could get a passable PG straight up for Marbury (and eating some of his contract)? Of course, it is a function of what you think of a small, untested rookie PG; but still, Marbury is not the future of this team. Get a pure PG to carry the short term load, school Nate and, most importantly, distribute the ball so we see what we have in terms of young talent.
Nobody reads this, but if they did, I'd ask for nominations of a PG you could realisitically trade Marbury to get.
