Isiah Thomas
I took issue with the fact that he's somehow not a team cancer because he's averaged nineteen and seven. Considering how quickly Marbury was dealt in Phoenix, I've got little doubt that D'Antoni arrived in New York with a grudge.

and the drama continues
Marbury going to play hardball with Knicks
Stephon Marbury's new plan to resolve the differences between him and the New York Knicks is to become more intractable.
The star guard, who was suspended earlier in the week, said he wants to be released on placed back on the team. He will not negotiate a buyout.
If they give me a uniform, I'm going to go out and play," Marbury told Marc Berman of the New York Post. "It's their choice. I was getting ready to go back to practice and play." (Photo by Robert Deutsch, USA TODAY)
Marbury is making $21.9 million this year. The Knicks have been trying to shave about $3 million off of that.
"The negotiations are over," Marbury said. "That's what they don't realize. I was wrong to try to buy my freedom. The money is off the table. I came to them with the million dollars. I didn't have to give them nothing."
For a team that throws away so much money, that hasn't cared about having overpaid guys and who supposedly want this guy out more than anything, fighting over two millions dollar seems stupid.
Stephon Marbury mum as rumors swirl
BY Mitch Lawrence
ATLANTA - Banished Knicks guard Stephon Marbury refused to confirm or deny a report on ESPN Radio Friday night that said he was expecting to be released within a week so that he could sign with Boston, Orlando or Miami.
Reached Friday night via e-mail, Marbury refused comment. Both Florida teams have been reported to have various degrees of interest in Marbury, who has been unable to reach a buyout settlement with the Knicks and has been told to stay away from the team's games and practices indefinitely.
they should just stick him in the back oven and spare the rest of us the drama.
in other news, oj simpson was found guilty of armed robbery. he may spend the rest of his life in jail.
nobody cares anymore.
Knicks are rich so who cares? If this was the Grizzlies or Bobcats or Thunder, then I'd feel sorry for them.
