Marbury is good but not great.
A large part of the problem is that successful teams in the league don't have their main scorer and ballhandler as the same player. The pass first, second and third and shoot fourth guards like the Kidd's and Tony Parker's of the league are on the successful teams. The catch is that they have the Kenyon Martin's and Tim Duncan's to throw the ball to.
With Van Horn and Houston, Marbury will probably have to distribute more and score less. If he's any sort of a team player (still a ? imo) he'll let his scoring drop and his assists rise in order for the team to be successul. He'll still have the odd massive night, probably quite a few, but if he becomes to concerned with his own production, the Knicks won't go anywhere.
Being back in NY won't hurt him one little bit, so maybe it's the break he needs to change his game a little.
