<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The self-proclaimed best point guard in the NBA is ready for a career change. Stephon Marbury revealed yesterday that he is prepared to move to shooting guard under new coach Larry Brown, a switch that Marbury believes is a "scary" proposition for the rest of the league. "He told me a long time ago if I ever coach you I'll put you at the two because you're a two-guard," Marbury said during his camp at Basketball City in Manhattan. "To me, it don't matter. As long as I'm on the court playing, it don't matter who's the one or two. "But if I play the two, it's going to be scary. It's going to be kind of scary because I can shoot whenever I want to shoot. I won't even have to think about it. I think I'll be more of a playmaker because I'll be playing behind the defense." Brown switched Allen Iverson from a point guard to a shooting guard and Iverson eventually became the league's MVP. But Iverson also played alongside a classic point guard in Eric Snow, and if Brown is intent on making Marbury a two guard, the Knicks could be in the market for a starting point guard. A league source claims that the Knicks have expressed interest in Snow, who is with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks may also be interested in Kevin Ollie, who played for both Brown and Isiah Thomas. Another possibility is Memphis free agent Earl Watson, whom the Grizzlies are willing to move in a sign-and-trade. The Knicks could take a chance on rookie Nate Robinson and try him at point guard. But considering his inexperience, it is unlikely that Robinson would be given the job out of training camp. Likewise, Brown probably doesn't feel comfortable with Jamal Crawford at point guard. Marbury at times sounded optimistic, defiant and somewhat arrogant when he talked about several changes the Knicks have made. He feels that he and Brown can coexist even though Brown attempted to have him removed from the Olympic team before the Games began last summer. As for the rumors that the Knicks explored trading him, Marbury seemed to suggest that the media invented the rumors because "when things get good they want me to leave now."</div> Source
