What I propose is that they don't buy him out but send him home - away from the team.....this way when he realizes that he wants to play on another team, he'll be willing to accept a much lower buyout price from the knicks and then he is free to sign on with some other team.
just wish steve francis was healthy to see if him and marbury could work cuz i remember this one game against atlanta that both of em put on a show, it was qrazy
Trade him to the Bobcats. For who I don't know but the Bobcats have to add on salary or they get charged. They will be at $27,677,786 next year. The salary cap is $56 million. The minimum team salary is defined as 75% of the salary cap. Any team that doesn't spend at least that much is surcharged at the end of the season, and that money is given to the players.

They could add on Francis just so they don't get hit.

I hear what you are saying bro, but in all seriousness, they were playing the Atlanta Hawks...Chris "Dud"ley (what a name BTW) could throw up 20 and 15 on them if he really wanted to.
a buyout means nothing to the knicks... except for dolan's pocketbook..
for cap purposes, he is getting 32/33m over the next two years, and this does not change even if they buy him out for $1
i do not think u are going to force stevie's hand by sending him home... he will sit back and keep on collecting his $$$
Yep.
Hell, Denver is medicore now with Iverson, they could of been much better with Andre Miller, who's an excellent pass first PG. Anyone noticed how well Philly played when Iverson left town, and Iggy emerged as the franchise player? All they need is a franchise PF, and they'll be set for years in the Alantic.
it's all about chemistry and maturity... iverson matured by the time he got to denver and was willing to subjugate his scoring to melo... with AI gone... korver... iggy... delambert... willie green... hunter... were able to play more loose without fear of upsetting the superstar... BUT yeah... the francis trade is the one that made me start calling for IT's head... that and the j rose deal...
Agreed, which is why we don't need guys like AI and Francis(even though AI is a million times better). Lets give the responsibility to Collins, Lee, Balkman, etc... the future of this FRANCHISE
