Marbury Has Dropped To 200 Pounds

[Legacy]

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.

Too bad he'll still suck.

Is dropping to 200 even a good move with how much he drives the lane?

He must be so slow.

If D'Antoni's system is anything like Nellie's then its always best to be as thin as possible. The key is being faster and having more endurance than the other team if you're gonna run. Granted Nellie ball makes D'Antoni's "running game" look like the Spurs. I think Marbury will still have plenty of strength to get to the rim.
