I hear what your saying Toons, but you can't really look at it like that. These guys recieved these deals based on their performance prior to the contracts. Honestly, teams have no idea if a player will maintain their production throughout the life of their contracts but they do it because players want multi-year deals for stability.main reason i have a problem with steph....he dosent produce for the amount he makes. He and z-bo make more than mello n lebron combined...with a few million extra
wow alot of surprises here did not know KG made the most at 24 mil? damn and marbs makes more than everybody else besides KG lol. Seein the Knicks payroll and other teams just makes me sick. Brings back isiah memories.
Stephon Marbury made the playoffs with the Suns, in the 2002-2003 season. In the 2003-2004 season, Amare Stoudamire got injured, and the team had problems winning games because of it. It wasn't because Marbury was a "cancer." Steve Nash got to play on that team with the addition of Quentin Richardson, an increased minutes per game Joe Johnson, and a healthy Amare Stoudamire. That's why they were successful. They later got Raja Bell and Boris Diaw, too.Point be made is Phoenix gave Steph that big contract and Portland gave Zach that big contract. And both players were bringing their team down with serious attitude problems and selfishness toward their teammates.
Both teams became successful winning teams once these players were gone.
Assistant Coach D'Antoni owes Marbury for getting his Head Coaching Job in Phoenix.
The Knicks did not have a psychiatrist class for these players to attend on a daily basis so why bring the next team big problem players to the Knicks.
Crawford was another head-case problem that no NBA team bothered to give an offersheet to while he was a free agent.
And these are the players that "Loony Tune" Isiah Thomas put as the first, second, and third option on offense.
And Fans did not understand why the Knicks kept having 33 and 23 win seasons back to back with Isiah Thomas.

The Portland Trailblazers won 11 more games in the 2006-2007 season than they did in the 2005-2006 season. The Blazers were already headed in the right direction with Randolph. They mainly traded Randolph, because of his oversized contract and because he had a lot of off the court problems.
The Suns traded Marbury because he had an oversized contract and they felt that they could get a lot in return for Marbury, which they did.
It wasn't because they were cancers to their team. I know the media likes to say that, but that's just not true.
The Suns had a 44-38 record with Marbury, in the 2002-2003 season, and Zach Randolph was part of a 50-32 Trailblazers team in the 2002-2003 season. Zach Randolph also was part of a 41-41 team in the 2003-2004 season(a season where Randolph averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds). Starbury played on a 7th seed Knick team in the 2003-2004 season, too.
You can't just listen to what the media says; you have to look at the facts. The media loves to take any little flaw in a player and magnify it by 20. That trade with the Clippers would have been stupid, because the Clippers wanted a first round pick from us. Had they offered the Knicks two second round picks and DeAndre Jordan, it would've been a good move. But one second round pick for one player and a first round pick is a bad move. The Nuggets are kicking themselves for trading Marcus Camby the way that they did.

Honestly, just shut the f*(k up. I actually said that he had an oversized contract, so I don't know what your point is. If your point is to be an illiterate jackass, you succeeded, though.So your saying a 44-38 record is worth 20 + million for one player? :crossfingers:
lol. another W for the starburians.... nvm
you freaked out over nothing..
