It's not hate just facts. Even if Marbury is 100% Davis is still a better running the point. You didn't buy that 'I'm the best point guard in the league' statement did you? I wish Marbury the best but this isn't about him, it's about the team and the moves that will make the team as a whole better. In order for the Knicks to win and bring in talented players they have to be a competitive team. That's not something we have been with Marbury, even before the injuries and before the east was even good, we still weren't competitive with this squad.
If we were to keep Marbury his 20 mill would roll off but we would most likely resign him. Why not resign Davis instead? Swap expiring contracts then resign Davis for three or four years, trade Randolph and buy out Jerome James.
Lets assume that this is all talk and has absolutely no truth. Even then our future lies with Mayo not Marbury. The only reason Marbury is still in a Knick uniform is because of his expiring contract.
I thought Mayo was more of a shooting guard? I never said marbury is a future. Why you bringin up things that i never said? just so you can take more cheap shots at him? Fukk outta here
I think its stupid to compare marbury and davis's passing ability. Marbury proved when he had teammates that he could average more assists then baron davis ever did. You expect him to average more then 6 assists with this current team? These are stats from 06-07, since marbury didnt play much last year
Q Rich-41.8fg%, 37.6% 3PT
Crawford-40fg%, 32% 3PT
Curry-3.64 turnovers per game
How would baron davis do with this group of clowns? How would steve nash do with this group of clowns?
You have to look into marburys teammates for the answer as to why his assists have declined. With all the talent marbury has, theres no doubt about it that he can still run the point just as good if not better then davis. He finally got them heel spurs fixed.
Baron Davis is also more turnover prone then marbury, and marburys a better 3 point shooter. Baron averages over 2 steals but hes not as good of a defender as his stats tell you he is.
None of this even matters, you turned it into davis>>>marbury which isnt a fact. If Davis has a better season then marbury next year I'll give you that.
Im lookin at the long term future. I dont want baron davis here then next 3 years. As he starts to lose his lift all his numbers will decline; shooting percentages, rebounds, and his defense wont be as good. Maybe not 08-09, but probably 09-10 he'll start to slow down. It would be stupid to have him for 5-6 years, im suprised you said that.
Marbury and Baron davis both aint the answer to our future. We gotta look long term, not short term. I dont know who our future point guard is but for now we need to look to let keep short term contracts and draft someone who we KNOW will play defense and offense. That rules out the Italian kid unless he has some real good pre-draft workouts.
None of this matters, theres a chance D'antoni will bring in a bunch of softies and turn us into the raptors/pacers/warriors.
