but did he refuse to play when he was asked?

He never refused to play. He wants to play and he wants to play for indiana. Bird has a hard-on for him cuz his name has been mentioned a few times in the media.

So far since he's been benched has anybody heard any Tinsley news? Btw, anybody remember why Tinsley is in the dog house?

I'm obviously bringing this up cuz of Marbs.......Marbs is an ******* and he doesn't fit the plans, just like Tinsley for Indiana. What I wanna know is why its such a big deal that Marbury doesn't play, yet nobody cares about Tinsley? Tinsley actually is signed for 2 seasons and Bird said that Tinsley will never play another game for Indiana and he will not buy him out. So how come that isn't news?

This proves that this Marbury situation isn't anything to even talk about. Coach doesn't wanna play him, and management agrees. He refuses to play therefore alienated his teamates.....so like Q-rich said and what Duhon said in my sig......

Basically **** marbs. Brooklyns saddest.

I think Tinsley is very good. But Walsh knows better that us obviously.

If you could get a Curry + for Tinsley + deal done that would be a huge lift to this team.

Curry and Lee for Tinsley + whatever matches would give us the room to sign Nate through the LeBron/Bosh era at the midlevel.

F**K Murburied. I like the sarcasm Enyspree.

But why would we have to give up Lee to get Tinsley. Eddy Curry for Maceo Baston and Tinsley works. Problem is Tinsley makes 7.5 in 2010-11. Sure that's not 11.3 for Curry, but Curry MIGHT (I say might) opt out for some reason. Like, oh let's say, to go eat cheeseburgers full time in the Caman Islands.

TinsBury can accept a smaller amount of money for his freedom.

He has choices.

Nobody want to trade for him. Im sure Indy would trade him.
