Intriguing as this may be, why? We have another former all star PG sitting on our bench who also has yet to play a single game this year. So dump one unused option while bringing in another? Does this really improve our team's situation?
The difference is that Marbury is 31 and Cassell is 39. Marbury would actually play too...because once again he is 31. Marbury could probably still produce at nearly an all star level if given the minutes you know.
Marbury would be a steal, imo, because he would sign here at the minimum, and if he causes any locker room problems, he'll simply be cut. If he doesn't cause any locker room problems, he obviously stays, and he is still a very talented player. Only some players drop off huge at the age of 31, and it's usually because they had an injury or they couldn't stay in shape (like Walker).
More than agree. He is way way younger and quicker than and as talented as Cassell (not smarter though).
Let's not forget he's an All-Star many times over (even won one for the East with a 3-pointer years back), very good perimeter and long range shooter than Rondo (a skill set the latter lacks) that will create opportunities for low post players, can play the pick-and-roll better than Rondo, taller than Rondo, and definitely the better offensive player we may want other than the Big 3.
We have to maximize his skills and talent which I believe could translate to a positive one for our team that's become so predictable on the offensive end. He can't complain much and become the same player he was as Knickerbocker. In this team, he can't dictate on any of the Big 3. He'll toe the line. He's so eager to play and prove himself so there's no worry on how he'll go about being a Celtic that is trying to help a team to repeat as champs.
If it fails, we still have Gabe Pruitt.
