From Ken Berger's blog at CBS Sportsline:
* Walsh and banished guard Stephon Marbury could be back at the negotiating table this week to complete buyout talks. Walsh is believed to be considering using the roster spot to sign Patrick Ewing Jr., who excelled with the team in training camp and preseason and has been staying close to the team since then. But the Knicks' banged-up backcourt -- including a groin injury to Nate Robinson -- may compel Walsh to look for guard help. Marbury has no agent, so it is difficult to assess where he might be able to get a new contract. A person with close ties to Marbury told me Miami is the favorite, and insisted that Starbury is intent on talking with the Celtics, who could easily clear a roster spot by releasing Sam Cassell, who has a non-guaranteed contract. With a 20-2 record and designs on winning 70 regular season games and repeating as champions, I would strongly advise Danny Ainge against it.
The idea is so ludicrous that I can't help but love it. My favorite part of this story is the fact that Starbury doesn't have an agent- which has been well known for a while- but the thought of him trying to sell himself to Danny Ainge is fantastic. We complain about agents screwing over the players they represent (like the ManRam situation), but we don't often think about what mayhem would ensue if no player had a professional agent. We'd have a lot more Starbury's and Keon Clark's, that's for damn damn. Which is to say, it would be awesome.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/12/starbury-thinking-celtics.html
