It appears the Greek club Olympiakos is looking to the colonies again to fill the void left by the injury to import Josh Childress... and it could be...Stephon Marbury...???
Yes, before you finish your spit take, apparently the highers-up on the club have contacted New York Knicks President Donnie Walsh and asked what it would take to get Steph ((pictured, thanks/New York daily News)) out of his deal. Childress returned to the states to seek treatment for a sports hernia and is out 6 to 8 weeks.
The four-letter's Chris Sheridan writes the Greek club is looking to fill the roster vacancy in time for the Super 16 phase of Euroleague play which goes from late January to mid-March. Marbury's people know of the team's interest, but haven't pursued the discussions as of yet.
The Knicks are paying the oft-troubled point guard a little over US$20-million to do nothing at the moment. Steph has offered to pay the Knickerbockers one million to let him go somewhere he thinks he's needed ((like Boston, for example)).
Walsh actually thinks that Marbury has some trade value left in his moody sneaks...
Good luck with that one there, dude...
