C-Webb gets after Q Richardson

Frankly, C-Webb should know what it means to play with a brutal contract. To his point, in fairness, no one owes Quentin Richardson anything, but he IS the captain of this team. You can’t handle Marbury in the locker room because of his ego. That’s the reason they want him gone in the first place.

Towards the end of his career, specifically in Philly and Detroit, Webber’s contract caused serious cap problems. At the end in Phiily he had to negotiate a buyout.

Thanks to the NBA for the video.

Why is it Webber’s problem anyway? It’s none of his business as far as what other’s say about Marbury. Obviously Marbury’s teammates feel betrayed by him, by Marbury not wanting to play with a depleted team. You’re making money to play, eventhough you don’t like the coach or whatever, you are still getting paid tons of money to play, Webber should just shut up himself, and focus on the team and not the one incident. One this stupid Marbury situation is done, we can finally move on to the improved play of the team, and how amazing Duhon is, and how much of a great addition he is, sign him to a 10 year deal.

C-Webb knows what the hardships and struggles of destroying a team with your inflexible and gigantic contract would be, all the while creating a sideshow and distraction in the lockeroom. Him and Marbury should write a book together. It’ll probably cost 17 million over 6 years and only have 4 pages of half assed, out of shape and self-absorbed pages.

It’s not surprising to me that C-webb would side with Marbury. he is from the same generation of players. I grew up loving the 90’s Knicks and the NBA in general. As the Knicks got worse, I stopped watching the league as much. It wasn’t because I didn’t love the game, but because the players wanted to get paid and treated like superstars, but not work to get there. If you asked me who epitomized this type of player, I would say Marbury, Iverson, Vince, Francis and Webber. I don’t think its a coincidence that we finished third in the Olympics when those guys were dominating. Now, we have a new breed of young guys, Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Roy, Paul and Howard. These are all guys who just “get it”. I love the way the league is headed. We’re going to see more of these selfish losers yapping about how their teams have wronged them, but we must remember that Webber is sitting in a tv studio now, Iverson is now relegated to being just another player, Francis is gone from the league and Marbury has been asked to stay home. These guys areirrelevant while now we have players who understand that Finals MVPs are more valuable than all star game MVPs.

If you eliminate the names and histories Webb does have a point. He’s not completely innocent in this whole role also; if it’s true D’Antoni told him about not playing Steph, as the captain of the team why did he never tell Steph before the home opener?

It’s just a bad situation all around, but blaming Marbury completely is the easy thing so everyone rolls with it.

Marbury has had problems with Lenny Wilkins, Larry Brown, Thomas and D’antoni…at some point, all the enablers need to admit that maybe just maybe it is Steph who is the problem.
