He'll only be hated more at that point. The guy was given a lot of chances. He was lazy on defense and out of shape due to a poor work ethic.
You look at those highlights and you see his potential and he just couldn't string it together on a consistant basis. And you wonder why there are bad feelings about the guy. He was a waste of space that could've been so much more. If the light goes on in the next year I'll only hate him more for it. The franchise needs to progress and it doesn't have time to wait on an immature player's personal time table... regardless of his potential.

This kid didn't get a lot of chances...in fact he kinda got screwed, He played behind Kidd his rookie season and put up good numbers, had an awesome summer league and got hurt then when he came back Jason Kidd was whining about being traded, and the team was in utter turmoil...he sees limited time and then Kidd is traded with the main peice being Devin Harris...a PG. That kinda sucks.
I hope Marcus turns into a superstar.
I hope Brook Lopez turns into an allstar, before this trade I didn't mind passing up Bayless...now I'm furious.
