Marbury and Moore? Chemistry Problems Ahead

Apparently, Danny Ainge didn’t really understand why the Boston Celtics won the 2007-08 NBA championship. If he were watching closely, he would have seen a group of players with great chemistry who believed in each other — even when times were tough.
Instead of building on that chemistry, Ainge is blowing it up. According to reports, Ainge is set to sign both Stephon Marbury and Mikki Moore. Both Marbury and Moore became available after their previous teams bought them out.
And let’s set the record. Marbury and Moore weren’t bought out on a whim. The New York Knicks and the Sacramento Kings, respectively, were fed up with this duo. They saw a buyout as a better way to dispose of a problem player rather than letting their contract simply expire. That says a lot.
Ainge obviously isn’t listening. What happens the next time Kevin Garnett tries to rally the troops and Marbury and Moore don’t fall in line? What happens when Paul Pierce tries to lead by example and Marbury and Moore aren’t watching? I guess that’s when Ainge will learn why the 2008 championship Celtics were special.
Well, I don’t know much about Marbury and Moore, but I heard about their problems with their previous clubs. So, let us see if they can fare well with their new club.
Well before Ainge and the Celtics landed KG and Ray Allen the Celtics were at the bottom of the league so Danny Ainge can’t really be considered one of the smartest GM’s just b/c they won last year. I can understand what he is thinking about with trying to bring Marbury to Boston but sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. I would be skeptical to bring such a cancer to a tight nit club.
