This is an ignorant post. Marbury agreed to play off the bench, and Mike D'Antoni wouldn't even do that. Marbury averages 19 points and 7 assists, for his career. He is a 2x All Star. How many career 19 point, 7 assist active players do you see on the inactive list of their team? None.
Seriously, start reading people's posts and stop manipulating and twisting them.
The people who support Marbury are not saying that he should have started, even though he is clearly better than Duhon.
What we are saying is that the management lied to him, when they said they were intending on giving him playing time, which he never got.
I didn't say they thought he should have started. I wrote "omplain all you want about how it's unfair to Marbury, the way I see it, it's unfair to everyone else to have a guy be automatically the starter or automatically getting minutes because of his name." You obviously missed the last half of that sentence, where I said it's unfair to everyone else to AUTOMATICALLY GIVE HIM MINUTES because of his name.
So, you said you wanted him to just get time. That's exactly what I said.
Where exactly did management say they were giving him playing time? Give me one article where it says that? All I've seen is Donnie Walsh (who, by the way, is not the coach), saying everyone was on a clean slate. Mike D'Antoni NEVER said that, despite public opinion on this board to the contrary. Show me where they lied to Marbury.
