Marbury has been a soldier this year. Zeke needs to make him more of a focal in the offense. Curry, is nice but no leader.

Please draft Joakim Noah. The Knicks could use some leadership.

How about a plus/minus fantasy league?

The problem as I see is it is that Marbury is a great player and is paid the same as all the great players but lacks some of the qualities that other great players have (e.g. leadership skills, defensive prowess, and that intangible factor of always making the right play with the game on the line).

There is undeniably something missing there that the other greats have. You could argue the same for Kevin Garnett I think too.

It doesnt make him a loser, but if you spend that kind of cash on a player you are building your team around him and making a commitment that he is the “man”. And if the “man” is a guy that doesnt make the big play at the key moment or lacks leadership or that certain killer instinct, its likely the team will take on those characteristics as well.

Why?

Why can’t a 17 million a year pt guard learn how to lob to Curry?
Why can’t Curry learn how to see and pass out of a double team?
Why has it been proven that Balk and Lee both show that they should start yet Jeffries continues to rob them of valuable minutes?

That’s not fair to Curry since he was in great shape this season compared to last and losing more weight would probably take from his strength at this point.

Maybe if EC loses a few pounds and gets into serious shape he could be a better defender/rebounder. That way when the Knicks want to run he could still contribute by blocking shots, getting defensive boards and issuing the outlet pass that leads to the easy 2 of the break. He has got to do more things than just score.

No, not a loser, but he obviously isn’t strategcially very savvy if he thinks he’s the best PG in the game. That’s how many people will think of him. I haven’t read this post but…..PLAY BALKMAN!!!!
