with baron davis gone to the clipps it would be a smart move and a cheaper move than the arenas look for the warriors. i mean he is talented and don nelson would let him be free to play his game understanding that with the departure of davis there is no real playoff pressure any more.

Marbury still has plenty of game in him he just needs to be in the right situation.....Orlando could use his skills.

Atlanta could be an interesting situation for Marbury. Back-up Mike Bibby and give them some guard depth.

Though, it would be fun to see him go to Italy.

I'm not sure Marbury is ready for a reduced role . He's just going to disrupt the team he's joining .

Only a team with a strong coach should take a chance on Steph, his potential to be a distraction is too high for an unestablished coach to deal with.

The guy still has plenty of game left. He was just in a mess situation in NY (though, he had a part in the mess). If you get him to a team were his role is reduced, as a 6th man or backup PG with 25 mins or so at the G, then I see him being very effective. Just like how Stackhouse went from a 'star' to a 6th man, I see this as a possibility. Of course, there's a little bridge with injuries and crazyness mixed in between there. I'm not sure which team or contender (don't see a young, non-playoff team taking him) will take a "chance" on him.

Yep.

Steph has already said he wants to play in Italy. And if he's walking around with an extra $xxmillion in the bank after a buyout, why NOT go light up the Euros for a couple of years? They'll pay him good money and maybe it'll take them 2 years to figure out he's a cancer cell with feet.

Meanwhile, he gets to live in Florence or Milan or Rome or Venice (no team there, sadly) for two years and make stupid money.

Hell, I'd go. Why not? It's either that or the Hawks. (blech)
