After practice today, Ray Allen commented on the mess that is Stephon Marbury and the New York Knicks:
"It’s somewhat disappointing watching what happened with Stephon,” Allen said after Saturday’s practice. “He and I grew up playing together, against each other [in] high school basketball and then being drafted together, we got traded for each other. So I’ve always followed his career. He was in my draft class.
“So this year was somewhat disappointing regardless of whatever was going on in the organization, I thought he still could help that team. So it’s not like he’s a guy who can’t play basketball anymore. With his skill set, his talent, he still can come out and play basketball and carry a team.”
Ray didn't comment directly on the chance Marbury could be a new teammate, but he did say this:
"We welcome the help,” he said. “Our egos, we’re pretty selfless here on this team when it comes to playing basketball. We just want to win.”
And FWIW, Sam Cassell says (in a roundabout way) he's cool with Marbury joining the C's.
