OT: Does Orlando consider either Marbury or Tinsley?

Interesting. If Matbury, Boston will have competition presumingly. If Tinsley, it's possible but his contract is the sticking point for any team.

Marbury/Orlando is now a distressingly obvious fit.

Unless they don't want to risk his personality/character issues, not having the dominating cadre of vets we do.

Yep, Starbury will prolly end up on the Magic now.

Because I think Orlando's in the same situation as Boston in terms of having no flexibility due to the number of guaranteed contracts to trade for help. Then too, if you're New York, which do you prefer: Helping Boston or Orlando? I still think that New York will get that eight seed in the playoffs. And New York wants to avoid any chance of facing Marbury in the playoffs or for him to even join a contending team. The difference here is Boston doesn't need Marbury as much as you would think Orlando does now. I mean Marbury's addition to Boston probably pays dividends more during the playoffs than in the regular season as he's still a talented veteran. However, Orlando can offer him a starting job.

Smith had some negative stuff to say about Starbaby in the beginning it might change now with Nelson's condition but from what I have read Nelson is gonna try to rehab 1st which might go past the trading deadline before getting the operation. 8-)
