Point guard Stephon Marbury has dropped to 200 pounds in an attempt to get in shape this offseason, but he still appears to be on thin ice, according to New York Post.

The Knicks have sixteen players under contract, which means they must get rid of one player prior to the start of the season.

Marbury is still considered a candidate to be cut at this point, although recently-acquired forward Patrick Ewing Jr. is not a lock to make the team either.

I haven't kept up with the Marbury news... how much did he weigh before? Losing 200 lbs is a whole lot of weight

. Is he like skin and bones by now?

your reading comprehension is

My mistake. I was just skimming through the whole thing that tupac003 posted and I looked over it a little too fast

this forum and my cousins that live there makes me think that all ppl from the bay and texas are idiots

Geez, skimming through a post and missing a "to" in the title "Marbury Has Dropped To 200 Pounds" which would make thesentence appear "Marbury Has Dropped 200 Pounds" is a big deal to people? People aren't allowed to make mistakes now? Especially something sosmall such as this?

nYcHipHopHippo, you saying that "all ppl from the bay area and texas are idiots" is ironic.Generalizations will never get you anywhere. Try evaluating yourself first before trying to call out entire regions for being "idiots".

And before this becomes a back and forth argument between you and me, let me say this... If you try to drag this "argument" on, it'll be useless.I've already said what needed to be said.

obviously the generalization of an entire population of millions of people all being idiots is an exaggeration, but damn u couldnt stop and thinkwut would happen if any athlete dropped 200 pounds. even barkleys out of shape old !*+ would probably die if he lost 200 pounds.

Sep 01, 2008 10:03 AM EST

The Warriorsissued a statement on Sunday denying a report that they are investigating how point guard Monta Ellis injured his left ankle, according to ESPN.com.

Sep 01, 2008 6:57 PM EST

The Hornetsdidn't put any contingency plans in place as Hurricane Gustav approached New Orleans, but appear to have gotten lucky as the storm hasn't been as badas expected, according to The Times-Picayune.

They do not begin training camp until October, but the team shut down its operations so employees could make their evacuation plans onFriday night.

In 2005, the Hornets were forced to temporarily relocate to Oklahoma City after flooding caused damages at the New Orleans Arena,resulting from Hurricane Katrina.

[h2]Grizzlies'Wallace: Haddadi Long On Potential[/h2]
Sep 01, 2008 6:49 PM EST

Grizzlesgeneral manager Chris Wallace believes that Iranian center Hamed Haddadi is long on potential, but also realizes that he's not the second coming of HakeemOlajuwon, according to Memphis Commercial Appeal.

However, Wallace doesn't consider Haddadi a project either.

"I don't like to use that term because it suggests that he's not someone who can contribute in the short term,"Wallace said. "And that's not the case. He's going to need some work in certain aspects of his game. But he's 7-2. You can't teach height.He can rebound and block shots, and he can score around the basket with his left hand. He has an outside shooting touch, and he's fared well in (summerleague and Olympic) games."

Haddadi will become the first Iranian to play in the NBA after signing a multiyear contract with the Grizzles last month.

"I'm not going to say we shouldn't sign Hamed because a foreign big man that preceded him didn't work out,"Wallace said. "You can't look at it that way. In basketball, you can never have too many big centers. You need as much depth as you can get. If wedevelop Hamed, he's going to be a real asset for our organization in the future."

Aug 31, 2008 4:13 PM EST

Formerteammates of Kevin Duckworth bid him farewell during a tearful tribute on Saturday, according to Oregonian.

There were tributes from teammates, eye-watering tales from friends and family, a proclamation from the mayor, and moving videopresentations during a public memorial service.

"He left this world a better place," said former teammate Terry Porter. "He left the Blazers' community a betterplace."

"People talk about Clyde Drexler being the best player on the team, but I say it was Kevin Duckworth," former teammate BuckWilliams said about the Blazers' teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s. "If he played well, we knew we were going to win. He was the X factor . . .the glue that (held) the team together. It's time to cheer for a Goliath of a man.

Aug 31, 2008 4:10 PM EST

Magic centerDwight Howard believes that he is a changed man after winning a gold medal with Team USA in Beijing, according to Orlando Sentinel.

"It's great being around the kids and just getting to come back to the states," Howard said. "I just missed it somuch, and you just appreciate life being in China. You miss your friends and your family, going a month-and-a-half not seeing the people I love. I'm justglad to be back in America."

Howard couldn't believe how famous he and his teammates were halfway across the world.

"They treated us like the Beatles over there," he said. "It was ridiculous. Everywhere you went was just a crowd ofpeople. And the people there are so great. They're disciplined, they work really hard, and they love taking pictures. Everybody's got a camera, so allthey did was take a lot of pictures."

hornets jersey colour is off.

it's more carolina than teal/turquoise.

 

[tupac003]

Former professional basketball player Jason Caffey shifted $120,000 to his mother after he filed for bankruptcy protection in Mobile a year ago. The transaction was reflected in an amended statement of Caffey's financial affairs that his lawyer submitted after the Press-Register reported that some of the mothers of his children were questioning his assets and debts. Press-Register

Caffey, a former star at Davidson High School in Mobile and the University of Alabama, sought bankruptcy protection in August of last year. He listed $1.9 million in debts against nearly $1.15 million in assets, and said he needed time to renegotiate child support obligations that were set when he was earning millions of dollars during his eight-year NBA career. Press-Register

Caffey has 10 children with eight women, and several of the women have battled with him over unpaid child support. His latest filing shows that he withdrew $120,000 in October from a trust fund set up for the benefit of his two children with a New Orleans-area woman, Nikki Brown. He then deposited the money into the credit union account of his mother, Rose Caffey. Press-Register

Aug 29, 2008 6:21 PM EST

Suns' point guard Steve Nash is skeptical of the team's plan to rest him more this season, according to East Valley Tribune.

Phoenix General Manager Steve Kerr plans to rest Nash more this season, perhaps limiting him to 70 games in 2008-09.

"We'll see how it goes," Nash said upon hearing of Kerr's plan. "Those are great intentions, but is it realistic? We'll see."

[h2]might as well, that championship window closed a long time ago.[/h2]
1993, to be exact.

 

[shuges]

Add Caffey to the list.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Damn Caffey

.

 

[pharelfor3]

Caffey needs some rubbers.

 

[coolnificent]

So if Gustav was = to Katrina, would OKC have 2 teams

 

[japanair21]

Caffey already filed for bankruptcy? Dude was playing in the L not that long ago.

With 10 kids though, I can see why.

I was thinking this too, what if the team decide to go to Seattle for the season!!

But for real, I hope Gustav doesn't cause too much damage and the Gulf can recover.

 

[breakinyourankles]

If Gustav does hit hard, I don't see the Hornets coming to Seattle. They would probably go to KC where it's closer.
On a sidenote, if they DID come to Seattle then

. My favorite team in my hometown. Gonna go get season tickets

Not saying I want that to happen.
Stay safe NOLA
