Would Starbury fit with the Lakers?

Various media outlets have been reporting that the controversial point guard, Stephon Marbury, could be released as early as this week. This has sparked previously small conversations among Lakers fans about the possibility of the Lakers bringing him onto the team. While his effect on the team is highly debatable, one cannot argue with his talent. A former all-star with impressive assist numbers (despite his selfish reputation), Marbury would provide the Lakers with their most talented point guard since Nick Van Exel; sorry Gary. The downward spiral his career has taken can only serve as motivation in what could be a last attempt to revive an ill fated career. The cons of the move, however, are not to be overlooked. Quarrels with coaches, teammates, and an inability to keep his foot out of his mouth in front of the media have destroyed teams. His departures have meant more wins for the team losing his talent. With all that being said, the reports of his divorce with the Knicks may be premature with espn.com reporting that he will be reporting to training camp, or at least Donnie Walsh says he will.
