Any Day Now Marvin...

[Horf]

Let's bottom line it for you really easily....

Was/Is Marvin better than Al Harrington?

Harrington was traded to "make room for Marvin to play". Why is that... Why would you trade a guy giving you 18/8 who said he wanted to be here?

Was/IS Marvin better than Chillz?

Chillz had to spend his days playing behind Marvin who was just as unpreductive and inconsistent then as he is now. Why is that? Why would you do that to a guy who didn't need plays drawn out for him to score and could get offensive rebounds and high efficiency the way Chillz did?

Was/IS Marvin better than Flip Murray?

Last year, when Marvin got hurt... We played Joe at the three and Murray at the 2 and we had more success with that lineup than we did with Marvin playing. We had more wins, our offense ran better. Our defense was better. Why would we get rid of flip who was a bargain and pay Mavin better than guys like Artest and Ariza??

Finally... Is Marvin better than Crawford?

Anybody who has seen Joe playing the 3 last year has got to wonder... Why is Crawford coming off the bench?

For years, we have heard of all these players who were better than Marvin.. OH, they are better off the bench... That's BS. Each one of these guys could start. Or worse... Oh, they play better down the stretch.. and while that's true, you don't punish them and not let them start because they can finish. Kobe plays better down the stretch too, that doesn't mean that you're going to put Shannon Brown in the starting lineup ahead of him.

So let's examine some of the questions I have raised and get to the real deal.

We traded Al to make room for Marvin. Marvin would have never earned the starting position over Al. Period. Marvin is still not better than Al.

We played Chillz behind Marvin because we've been waiting for some explosion of talent to burst fourth from Marvin that will make him more than just a role player. There was a lot of throwing around of the P word when Chillz was here.

We didn't start Flip because Flip was a Journeyman and Marvin was a 2nd pick in the draft. Regardless of how we (myself included) may feel about Marvin, we still have to keep his trade value up.

We gave Marvin a new contract because he still has value. I bought this argument as well. You don't just trash a guy with value for nothing in return.... Even if all we can get is a 2nd rounder and cap space, then that's more than not resigning him.

We let Marvin start over Crawford now because Crawford will win 6th man of the year.

That's the truth... What you will do will continue to raise your feelings.

If Marvin were playing with another team right now and even if we had sorry Mo Evans as our starting Sf, nobody on this board would suggest trading for Marvin at 7.5 Million per over the next 4. Nobody would want that deal because he's not worth it.

Was/Is Marvin better than Al Harrington?

Well Al Harrington can't even start on a weak Knicks team and plays little to no defense and is older, I'd rather have Marvin

Was/IS Marvin better than Chillz?

Yes he was better back then and he's better now, no one sees childress as a starter and thats why no one wanted to give him remotely anything of value and thats why he is where he is now, he's a solid guy off the bench, not a starter.

Was/IS Marvin better than Flip Murray?

Considering Flip murray gets bounced around from team to team due to the fact that he isn't that special Marvin was and is better than Flip

Finally... Is Marvin better than Crawford?

No Marvin is not a better player than Crawford, but Crawford is a selfish player at times and can be a cancer at times, but yes Crawford is better

Was/IS Marvin better than Flip Murray?

Considering Flip murray gets bounced around from team to team due to the fact that he isn't that special Marvin was and is better than Flip

Was that really an answer? Because Flip is bounced around, Marvin is better? Do you know why Marvin doesn't get bounced around? Nobody wants him.

Finally... Is Marvin better than Crawford?

No Marvin is not a better player than Crawford, but Crawford is a selfish player at times and can be a cancer at times, but yes Crawford is better

BS!!!

OK, this is your greatest transgression. Crawford is not nor has ever been a CANCER. Is this the new policy with people trying to defend Marvin. Making up stuff?
