When I started this thread, I hadn't heard about Marbury's end of the year comments. I'm hoping that he lives up to his word, because he's going to need to change his game for Brown. If he is willing to change his game, then I think this can turn into a Billups situation. However, if its all just talk and we end up with same Marbury from last season, then I think his ego will stop him from changing like Billups. Billups was a desperate player looking to keep a starting job and was willing to change his game after a while. Marbury, if he isn't truthful, knows he will always be a starter and has gone so far as to question Brown's offense during the Olympics.
If Marbury is put at the 2 like Iverson was, I don't think it will work out. I think SG will bring out the worst traits of his game (selfishness, shot selection), and if he is no longer responsible for distributing the ball, he won't be kept in check. Also, he will have an even harder time guarding bigger, faster, more athletic shooting guards on a regular basis. Playing Crawford at PG, IMO, is a downgrade than Marbury. If Brown can't work with Marbury at the point, then he should be traded.
