Knicks close to Marbury buyout
by Administrator on Sep.23, 2008, under Basketball
The Knicks are planning to waive and then buy out Stephon Marbury in the next few days, according to people with knowledge of the situation. Several persons with knowledge of the situation have indicated that the Knicks are planning to part ways with Marbury by the end of the week. One caveat is the approval of Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, who must sign off on yet another multimillion-dollar payoff for his NBA team. Marbury is in the final year of his contract, which is to pay him $21.9 million. The Knicks will likely place Marbury on waivers and, once he clears, begin negotiating a buyout. Marbury will then be free to sign with another team; the Miami Heat have a desperate need at point guard.

Who didn’t see this coming… The knicks can just close their whinning mouths about it, you picked him up, you knew he was a cancer, always had been, and now your surprised he wont leave without a fight?

I hate selfish knicks who steal big bucks and quit on the team. Marbury should be ashamed of himself!
Sincerely,
Allan Houston

Birdman…saying Marbury is not a cancer is idiotic as saying OJ’s not a jealous ex or might do something crazy. Marbury loves his bank account above all and could care less about winning. losing, playing or sitting. As long as the checks cash, he’s a happy guy

Birdman…why don’t you tell me which team did well while he was on it first? When you can answer that, I’ll answer your question.

**** his **** on the bench and make him pass out Gatorade, put him in then las 2 minutes of the game treat him just like an untested rookie. He will get the message

I’m one of the VERY few who think that Marbury could still be productive. If you look at his career numbers, they are similar to what Steve Nash’s are, and that’s with Nash playing with STAT, Marion, Dirk and Michael Finley. His numbers are WAY ahead of what Nash’s were prior to being teamed with D’Antoni. Stephon is making too much money, but a lot of guys in the NBA are. I really believe that he could get 20-22 points and 10-12 assists per in the run and gun style that D’Antoni brings to the table

No one should be surprised that Marbury isn’t going to accept a buy out. He thinks he’s the savior so to get bought out and run away with his tail between his legs isn’t the move.
Personally, I think this guy isnt going to change, be a cancer in the locker room and once again be an embarassment to himself, the Knicks, and New York City as a whole.
