A lot of teams could use a back up point, but just as many may be scared off bc of his character concerns. ie The Heat, could use him, but wouldnt Riley hate him? ect.
how bought this to blow your minds maybe thorn is working out a deal for Ron Artest now that trade talks have cooled with him going to Dallas or LA.
Get him to a place close to home. He needs to play somewhere he could stay motivated. The Clippers, Lakers, Golden State all looking for a back-up point guard. Maybe we can get a couple of second rounders out of it.

I mean come on, if what people think about you: "can't defend an atm with a machine gun" etc., your suckiness does not motivate you, what else will? Just don't deceive yourself - nothing will. I wanted him to stay for one more season just in case he makes peace with his mind, but if he's gone - no regret. none.
The Clippers, Golden State Washington Wizard (Antonio Daniels is always hurt) The Spurs ( he doesnt play D but I can see Pop working on him) Toronto Phoenix

Don't get me wrong. He's had plenty of "HOLY SH!T" moments. Some of us are hoping that he's matured enough to actually become the player he can. I personally don't think they are going to ship him out yet. We're thin at the guard spots and he could very well share those duties with Dooling. Dooling can be the combo guard, instant offense ala Barbosa or House, or while Williams can be a little more of a traditional point.
Timberwolves need a backup right? Their starter Foyle is injury prone anyway, never played a full season. Thorn can r4pe Mchale real deep.
i'm sorry what character issues again?? Your opinion he's not in shape is not a character issue. Your opinion he shoots too much is not an character issue, if it was RJ and VC would be in jail.
well, you need three PGs on the roster. I don't know why the Dooling signing necessarily dooms Marcus.

Marcus if he remains on the roster around the season opener, his going to be traded by the trade deadline.

Based on all the ass he's sucked up until now, I think it's unlikely.

Another excellent veteran defensive player who has strong ties to the team, PLUS he's a ~$6M expiring contract? The only bad part about that signing is that he'd take away about 10-15 minutes from our young big men.

Marcus plays 16-18 minutes a night exclusively at PG behind Harris who should only see around 30-32 minutes a night keeping hin fresh and HEALTHY which has often been a problem over his career while simultenously raising Marcus's trade value. At least that's what I would do. Then again I wouldn't have signed Najera in the first place so what the hell do I know?
