“I want to play in Boston. I’m not going to say that I don’t. But I know the way that business works. If I don’t come back it won’t be because of me.’’
“They brought me in when I was going through some things,’’ Marbury said. “They showed a lot of faith in me. They believed in me, even when I wasn’t playing well. The fans and the organization were behind me every day.’’
I've said it before and I will say it again; bring back Starbury. He did all the right things last season (except for the playing well part) and he's saying all the right things this summer. He wants to show us and the rest of the NBA he's still got something left.
CSN's Gary Tanguay offers this nugget:
As we told you last week on Sports Tonight the Celtics would love to get Rasheed Wallace to come off the bench this year. As we grow closer to the post July 1st NBA free agent signing period the chances of Rasheed wearing green this coming season are very good.
He is good friends with Kevin Garnett and he has a great interest in coming here.
My gut tells me Rasheed Wallace will be come a Celtic soon.
Is this reporting or guessing? If it's the latter, no offense to Tanguay, but John and I "guess" about guys all the time on this site.
Anyone else annoyed with all the media coverage given the Knicks? We're supposed to get excited every time the Knicks express interest in a free agent? It's been nearly ten years since the Knicks have won 40 games in a season. They are awful and no where near title contention.
Memo to the Globe and Herald, give your readers news when it happens. Both papers/web sites waited until today to reveal what Danny Ainge said about BBD, Eddie House and free agency in yesterday morning's conference call. We gave it to you yesterday afternoon. It may not be earth-shattering news, but it's news. Share it with your readers, please.
