Around SBN: Odds On Peyton Manning's Next Home Includes Three Teams

Any Day Now, Any Day Now

You've surely heard the rumors that the forthcoming signing of Chris Duhon spells the end of the Stephon Marbury era in New York. Be it via buyout, release, or an unlikely trade, the general consensus is that Steph X will be swiftly excommunicated from Manhattan soon after Duhon's arrival. You've heard from me that it's a bit hasty to send off a serviceable player with a year left on his contract, but Walsh and D'Antoni seem to believe that he's too poisonous of a locker room presence to even keep around, and I have no basis to refute that. Nothing can be done until Wednesday, but until then, take a look at these particularly appetizing numbers for a sec. From B-Ref:

1998-1999 Minnesota Timberwolves: 25-25 (lockout season)

1999-2000 Minnesota Timberwolves: 50-32

2000-2001 New Jersey Nets: 26-56

2001-2002 New Jersey Nets: 52-30

2003-2004 Phoenix Suns: 29-53

2004-2005 Phoenix Suns: 62-20

2007-2008 New York Knicks: 23-59

2008-2009 New York Knicks: ????

If Marbury shall indeed be released, expect an epic farewell for one of the most befuddling and bloggable players of recent memory.

he IS a dummy

but, i’d take a chance with him. maybe he turns out to be good for one year. especially given his weird up and down-ness as displayed. you can still just cut him loose in due time. and i mean… i’d rather have zoran planinic at the point than chris duhon.

Marbury trades that work to get us a #1 and no 2010 salary

Well I am glad to hear Marbury is almost out of town.. finally.

Here are a couple trades that actually gain us #1 picks, using Marbury, without adding salary for 2010. Click to View Marbury Trades

Duhon as good as

Terrell Brandon, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash? The guys who replaced Marbury on those teams?

Not a bad point.

Certainly not, but maybe Brandon Jennings is? Ricky Rubio?

Whoa Seth. Calm down there.

We’re going to be better next year, right? Donnie has a plan! Twice as good, maybe? We’ll be picking at #12!
