Steph on ESPN

[Avalanche]

i seriously think they have lost him haha

[greenbeans]

Maybe he's on the line with Dolan and will have some good news for us when he finally does show up.

Ok, that's the 10yr old waiting for dad to come and he doesn't mentality but I'll roll with it.

[Avalanche]

ok hes showed up! lol, lets see if we get anything of note from him or whether its just the same old "whatever happens" interview

[Avalanche]

Jimbo (Boston): Simple question: You comin to Boston?

Stephon Marbury: (4:32 PM ET ) If I can get out the deal, it is one of the teams I will be looking at.

lol that was quick (first question) ... didnt word it right though, steph aint too smart u gotta try and trap him :p

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

Stephon Marbury: (4:34 PM ET ) Yes we still have the same price at $14.92 and we have three lines, the signatures lines which is no more than $24.98 or less. We also have e-commerce, so anyone can access it all over the world. We are national and international. I am still working on going with Brick and Boarders and working with other retailers as we speak.

I assume he meant brick and mortars

[Avalanche]

Alvaro (chile): Stephon, would you consider going overseas with a big contract even if Boston wants you, but for less money?

Stephon Marbury: (4:39 PM ET ) I want to play in the NBA, so overseas will have to wait. When I spoke about playing overseas I meant going over there when I was finished in the NBA.

Also a New yorker just asked him why he wont leave 25% of his salary on the table, this should be good lol

[Avalanche]

Jonathan (Boston): Have you been talking to KG at all? Or Sam? Do they want you to come to Boston?

Stephon Marbury: (4:55 PM ET ) I have not spoken to any of them. But Kevin made a comment on ESPN saying that he would not mind me coming to play in Boston.

[greenbeans]

All this Kobe love is not the best way to go in your "intro to Boston" chat Steph

[Avalanche]

meh.. nothing really note worthy

[MVE85]

He said the Lakers were set from what he knew and he also mentioned winning a title a bunch of times, I think its clear from the fan chat he wants to play in Boston and have a shot at a couple titles.

[Avalanche]

yeh i really think, as long as the buy out comes and we are interested he will come

i think he lists miami just because they dont have much pg depth

[Jammer]

If the Celtics could actually land Marbury before the trade deadline
(which is 4 days after the All-Star Game),
then I think the Celtics might make a move for Joe Smith
knowing they can possibly spare certain players
with Rajon, Ray, Eddie and Steph in the rotation for sure.

Not saying that they would trade Tony Allen for Joe Smith.
But possibilities include:

Tony + Sam + (rook or soph)

Pruitt + Giddens + Sam + one more body.

Sam would be waived by OKC, since he'd threaten retirement.
Then he'd return to the Celtics to either coach or re-sign in 30 days.

An extra body could be re-routed by OKC to another team for a pick or cash.

[Avalanche]

If we pick up Steph, Tony is most definately a trade option..

House/Pruitt
Marbury/Giddens
Walker/Scal
Scal/Davis/Powe
FA or trade / Powe/Davis

We wont need him IMO

Walsh said Miami is not a place he'd want Stephon Marbury to wind up. Marbury said he has two teams "he can play for," referring to Boston and Miami. Walsh said, "There has to be a motivation on our part [not] to do something that could end up hurting us." Yesterday on Fox Radio in L.A., Marbury confirmed The Post's story that the Celtics gave him a commitment that they would sign him if he became a free agent. New York Post

The Knicks' infamous media policy may be a thing of the past. Donnie Walsh says the team has never considered fining Stephon Marbury for being critical of the organization during his countless unauthorized interviews since being banished from the team on Dec. 1. When asked if there have been discussions about fining Marbury, Walsh said: "No, not by me." "I haven't paid much attention to it, and it hasn't had an effect on me. If it did I would tell him or (Marbury's union attorney) Hal Biagas." New York Daily News

[greenbeans]

They just asked Danny on the radio if the Celtics have a verbal commitment to Steph, he said he's not gonna touch the Marbury stuff, "no comment". Otherwise yes, they do.

[Avalanche]
