Celtics would be silly NOT to resign Marbury

[Casperian]

I dont think dribbling the ball over half court, dumping the ball to Pierce or Allen, then wandering off behind the arc somewhere to recieve a pass from a drive and kick, or to be the 3rd option if Pierce or Allen cant create anything suits him really well.  AND HE WILL GET FRUSTRATED WITH THAT EVENTUALLY.

I agree, which is why I think if he does come back, we need to make him the backup combo guard.  Give him all of Ray and Rondo's backup minutes.  If that's the case, it gives him a chance to run the show when Rondo's out, but also gives him a chance to take shots when he's playing off the ball next to Rondo.  If Doc found a way to make this work, it keeps Rondo and Ray fresh without having a big drop off in terms of talent on the floor.  It also finds enough minutes for him, as he could easily take 12-15 minutes from both of them a night. 

I think that would be a great idea if we didnt have Eddie House.  We've won a title with Eddie House as a backup combo guard and he's proven he can knock down an open 3, something Marbury didnt prove he could do.  Let's face it, we need a back PG whos comfortable with a limited back up role, has a good handle, and is a good shooter.

Seriously, like I said, Im all for keeping him here for a one year deal at the league minimum, but if we're gonna address the backup PG issue long term we need to look elsewhere.  I dont know about you all, but after last summer, Im not in the mood to start gambling again.

The problem with that, is that off-the-ball-movement is arguably the weakest part of Marbury´s game. He seems to have no clue where, when and how to move without the ball. I don´t think he would help our team as a backup SG.

Marbury had maybe 1 or 2 brilliant plays off the ball with Rondo this postseason... maybe with actual practice during training camp, I think they could work well together. That's a big maybe though.

marbury has 2 choices for next year. Either accept a lower level MLE from a team like the celts or not play at all.

Still don't get how a guy who was suppose to be "it" looked nothing more than an ordinary bench player
