The only thing I'd amend there Triple is the roster given to MDA. I'm no fan of Mike's, but the one thing I cannot fault him for is how this franchise didn't provide him with one single competent PG his whole time here. Perhaps that is what MDA got for not trying to utilize Marbury when Stephon seemed to have brought to camp his best attitude (for him). But after that it was disastrous to the point the org actually let MDA start a season with Toney as the PG. That's crazy for a coach wholly dependent on having a PG to run his offense. Small historical amendment to an otherwise on point post.

The gods bestowed a him the greatest gift that was Linsanity!!!!

Marbury was but a cancerous tumor. His attitude was not betrayed, he was asked what any GM would ask a star player which was to come to camp in shape and be ready to play. What would expect of a max player.

Marbury was showcased and nobody pursued him. When he was finally granted his freedom from the dread MDA he sucked in Boston.

MDA was never given a proper team to run his system until Amare got here and lead by him, the team was 4 games above .500 until Dolan undermined Walsh and left the cupboard empty for MDA to produce a miracle. Non was to be had. Marbury was exiled to China where he is bronzed in glory!!!!!

Linsanity was not enough to save the team from the clutches of Evil who returned from his injury and banish the team to mediocrty. Yes, the one with the velvet headband who many worship. Some call him Melo, others the financial "succubus"!

With a new hope Moses returns to guide melo to a higher plane. As Yoda did with Luke, the process is not without pain. Nothing gained worthy is without a price.

Gold star for penmanship, adjective flourishes and literary fervor
