Tanguay: Steph Has Few Other Options

by Jeff Clark on Jul 22, 2009 11:46 PM EDT in Boston Celtics Rumors

According to a league source, a possibility remains that Stephon Marbury could be back in a Celtic’s uniform. Marbury, who joined the Celtics as a back up point guard for a quarter of the season last year, originally turned down the veteran minimum ($1.3 million). Reportedly, his only other option is Europe. It seems that Steph might have second thoughts and feel that playing for the Celtics for the minimum is better than going across the pond.

Except that is wrong

Marbury himself has stated that he loves italy and greece, and would love to live their, and have his children live there.

I hope he doesn't bail like Marvelous Marvin did:

We can use you Marbs

Yes, and Grant Hill will be suiting up for the Celtics this year

Tanguay’s a joke.

After tonight's OBAMA presser

I think I might be inclined to try Italy if I had the choice…

if you read this, which you might cuz you’re following Jeff on twitter – we’d love to have you back (well at least a lot of us). these are tough economic times – lots of people without jobs at all. don’t take a ‘small’ offer as a personal insult – just be happy you have the opportunity to play basketball for a team that can win the world championship… hopefully that’s all that matters

God bless and good night!

That's what I thought

He said he’d always love Boston. If he really wants to go to Europe, I’ll still always respect him. : )

Other than that, I hear Tinsley was waived, and people here seem to want him. Who knows….

I think he has a secret username on this blog. So, who is he?

Oh, I know who he is

I just think he has a secret account with celticsblog and uses it for 98% of his predictions.

I would won't to have Marbury.

Tinsley never really liked his game. I would love to see Garnett and Marbury play again.

Presss Conference or Filibuster?

Was that a press conference or a filibuster in which our President really only answered a few questions that he chose to answer and ignored all the rest???

Funny. I can’t find anything in this thread about Steph being a Republican.

Could have sworn this was a basketball thread.

But he's going to love coming back with the 'racist' cops in the area

The President may be the only person on the planet more narcissistic than Marbury.

Both of them need about a year away from mirrors. Marbury to actually work on his game. After a year in Europe, Siberia, Turkey, Iran, or wherever….Maybe Marbury will come back into the NBA with a dose of humility…..And maybe even a jumpshot.
