I would guess they have tried very hard to trade him.

Agreed, but wonder what benefit there is for getting rid of him now (unless they didn't want him to be a distraction if he got no playing time) instead of using that expiring deal before the trade deadline.

Everytime I see him play (not often!) He seems to have no problem scoring.
So what is his problem? The Bulls will need scoring from someone.

He has always had talent, but he has a reputation of being lazy. The Bulls, now for the 2nd time, don't want him to be around the team so they must not like his attitude.

I didn't see much scoring from him last year JimmyPasta. He did his best Ben Gordon impression and hoisted up as many bad 3's as he possibly could. The only problem was that he didn't hit any of them.

zero defense, black hole when the ball is in the vicinity, a complete "me" guy. Instant offense outside of the framework of your offense can be ok for a short burst. But as a career decision it must not sit well with the Bulls and what they want around the young, impressionable new point guard.

Nas,
Can you think of a guy that has been paid as much to play so little? like $$$ per game.
I'm not talking about being overpaid and playing, I mean...paid to do nothing.

I think Marbury might be the winner. The funny thing was Tim Thomas and Marbury were on the same team last year. Think about how much salary was just flushed down the toilet by the Knicks.

He does deserve some of the blame in NY but not all

Baron Davis, in Year 1 of his long-term deal with the Clippers.

I know Gil Arenas has been hurt but I've almost forgotten that he's even still in the league.
