This is actually something thats bothering me, people actually think Rondos starting job is in jeopardy or think Marbury should start...um how stupid do you have to be? I know this thread is a joke, but for the people that do think this way -go watch spring training.

Toine,

your points are valid and well thought out.  my only regret is that this all didn't go down BEFORE the trade deadline so that the C's could have explored Rondo for a draft pick.

Obviously Rondo will be the starter for the remainder of his tenure here...

but a question...

What do number 20 and 34's stats look like when the opposing team actually has to ...

you know,

cover our point guard?

haha we all know Rondo's the starter, but there is a legitimate point here.

Marbury takes and hits shots. Rondo does not with consistency. The Pacers played a much different defense against Rondo, sagging way off. Marbury is going to get solid minutes for the team because he can and will shoot, and at a much better clip then Sam I Am.

He'll get some 4th quarter minutes, just not at Rondo's expense. Small ball is a nice option to have with this team, especially when Marbury gets into game shape and defends better then last night.

Yes, I wish we could have traded him, but we probably only would have gotten a late 2nd rounder in return because other teans wouldn't want a point guard who can't shoot jumpers.

Out of curiosity, who?  Not one person has seriously said Marbury should start.


So, who are you calling stupid?

At first i thought no way, but now that i think about it why not go with the starting line up of

Marbury
House
T.A.
BBD
Moore

That would give us five impact players coming of the bench. WHO NEEDS POSEY  ;D

To quote Sam Cassell, "It's not who starts that's important..."

Start those guys and rest the Big 3 until the 4th quarter where they can play 12 minutes of absolute hellacious basketball.  They'd win the period like 45-2 every night.

JUST DO IT!

Marbury will work out good on the bench.  We need scoring off the bench and Rondo isn't a scorer.  Marbury loves to jack up shots... so it's a match made in heaven.  Plus Marbury has lost a few steps since his borderline all-star days... so having him go against other team's 2nd unit scrubs will be beneficial for the nutter.

Of course Marbury should not start over Rondo.  The only thing I worry about is whether Marbury would play games with Rondo's head over who should start.  Rondo seems to be an emotional player who needs people to believe in him, and feeds off fan support.  I hope Marbury would not do this, because I believe that is the only thing standing between Marbury and his first championship.  We need Marbury to come off the bench and make it very difficult for opponents to rest their starters.  We need for Rondo to keep improving and become our franchise point guard.

WOW - congrats to the 11 posters who didn't even read the OP and just threw their 2 cents in --- you guys are awesome....

On a side note, I'd love for Rondo/Marbury/Ray/Pierce/KG to be the end of game lineup on the nights each of those 5 has it going. Of course there will be nights when Perkins is deserving, but to be able to put out 5 All Star type players at almost their natural positions is an amazing advantage in late game situations.

I'm not sure about Rondo-Marbury lineups. certainly worth a little experimenting here, but that could be too many cooks in the kitchen...

Now that we got that out of the way, Doc must be like a kid in the candy store. Love the All-Star lineup: Rondo (future allStar) SM, RA, PP, KG. All 30 something line up: Marbury/House, RAllen, P Pierce, M Moore, KG. All PG line up: Rondo, House, Marbury, Pruitt, KG. All Wing/Slasher line up: T Allen, R Allen, P Pierce, B Walker, KG. All 3 pt Line up: Marbury, House, RAllen, PPierce, KG. Dunk Contest Line up: Rondo/Marbury (in the day)/Pruitt, RAllen/TAllen, PPierce/Walker, LPowe/Mmoore, KG. 20 Something Lineup: Rondo/Pruitt, TAllen/JRGiddens, B Walker, L Powe/BBD, K Perkins.

All except the last one include KG (hoping he comes back better than ever); however the 20 somethings could be a nice foundation to build on. Go Storm'in Mormon

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. are you guys smoking?  You want to start Marbury and trade Rondo away for a draft pick?  Insanity!  Rondo is the future of this franchise at the PG spot.  Marbury is a vet backup/sparkplug scoring guard.  He doesn't even know the offense yet.  He can't play at the level of Rondo or bring what Rondo brings to the table - great speed + great defense + spreads the ball incredibly well.  Rondo has become a triple double machine lately.  Marbury hasn't played for nearly a whole season!  Umm reality check please!
