This whole thing is a hell of a mess. We can continue to go back and fourth, but the best thing for the Knicks as a team is to trade Marbury. That wont happen until it's clear to every exec in the league that the buyouts have failed.
This must be more of your unbias posting POV. I think we're a little bit past apologies. D'Antoni never came out in the media and said Marbury's a cancer, something most of us know to be true. He handled it like a professional.
Was it professional for Marbury to say 'I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog across the street'? That's the problem with you guys. It's always someone else's fault, but Marbury's. No one should diss anyone in the media, that's wrong, until Marbury does it then he gets a pass. That's not bias? What part of the game is that?
This is all about who has the upper hand and it seems steph has it now. He's basically calling the shots right now because they HAVE TO PAY HIM. The only thing he loses is playing ball but the knicks are still 22 mil in the hole and will have this distraction all season long.
Knicks want to get rid of him and he gave them two options to make it happen. Their move. Steph looks to be bringing some street hustle into this.
Whats the deal with donchris? I dont know if i can take you seriously anymore. To say D'antoni has acted professional....you used to be one of the best posters on this site. But i keep sayin that hatred can blind people from the truth. I know that your not like all these other posters on this site, your better then this.
Great work as always akamu.....i think were gonna have to start sayin top 4 posters on this site instead of top 3. We got me, you, metro, abcd....I dont know what order but i do believe were the 4 best.
lol is it jst a coincedence that all 4 of em are part of team starbury? i think not lol, they are the top 4 in your mind because for the most part they agree with you lol. that is a very biased top 4. and anywayz who cares about top 1,2,or 3? does it really make you feel better tellin yourself your the #1 person on a knicks forum?

MSG, ABCD Akama, GetReal, Kiyaman, DonChris all rank above me. I've been slacking with my post effort and haven't been crushing the fools, Isiahsexuals like I used to. Thats why so many herbs are registering now, before they would be shook of the ether I brought.
Toma.
But back to topic.
Marbury should be offered an apology from D'Antoni and be played again. It would show D'Antoni is the bigger man(I'm looking at this from D'Antoni's perspective who needs to act his age right now instead of hold a useless grudge against the most talented, experienced, skilled and dynamic guard on the roster.
YOU guys DO KNOW that d'antoni asked walsh before the season started to trade marbury right?
xcept, NO ONE...i mean NO ONE, was willing to take $21.9 million in the form of starbury.
imagine someone not willing to take $21.9 million worth of expiring contract...thats how bad starbury is.
if the contract was between $10mill and $15mill Marbury would have had been traded. Unfortunatley $21mill for 1 season is a lot and obviously most clubs wouldnt look at it.YOU guys DO KNOW that d'antoni asked walsh before the season started to trade marbury right?

4.5 mil off from a trade., the heat don't have any other expiring contracts to include to even out this deal....
so a third team would have to be involved...
plus , marion wanted out from the suns., and is aging and would basically be a rental -- because they can't sign him until the 2010 signing are done....
So this wouldn't make sense for the Knicks....plus is he really any good any more ?
Marbury was given a 4 year-76 million dollar contract. It's not his fault he was given all that money. Donnie Walsh needs to pay Marbury and let him go to a contender. He needs to stop being so cheap. It's not like D'Antoni plans on using Marbury.
