Marbury waived by Knicks, eligible for postseason

[Leander]

The Knicks still have only 11 players. They must sign another one.

I'd have thought Patrick Ewing Jr would've been signed out of the D-League by now, seeing how close he was to making the cut in the pre-season.

Starbury isn't over yet !!!

It's not "Starbury" the Celtics particularly want or need though, that's the problem.

If there's any justice Andrew, I hope the Celtics get 'Starbury', the self-proclaimed 'best PG in the NBA'.

[Andrew]

Contrary to the previous columns written by others, Peter May is lauding the signing. It seems one game proves a point these days.

[Dan's Brain]

Yes. One game.
Against the Pacers.
Without Danny Granger.

8 points in 13 minutes is just meh. Certainly meh for the best point guard in the league. He also turned the ball over 3 times and the Celtics were -7 when he was on the court.

He's going to have to do far better than that, and against far better opposition if the signing is going to be remotely worthwhile.

[Andrew]

That's how it goes these days though. One game, usually the most recent, seems to stand as incontestable proof that Player X is a bust or Player X is a star, Team X won't win a championship or Team X will unquestionably win it all.
