Right you are. Still plenty left in the tank.
Marbury is going to take every penny he can from the Knicks. Why then, would anyone in their right mind think that Marbury is going to go to the Spurs for less money than another team could pay him.
"If you gonna give me 80 dollars, and someone else gonna give me 100 dollars..."
Logic...its whats for dinner.
It's simple. It's street. If someone owes you a certain amount of money, you don't let them pay you back less. These are street principles here. It's something I'm sure a boy like you from the suburbs wouldn't understand. Marbury is from the ghetto, and he still has that ingrained in his DNA... no matter what lifestyle he may be living now. That doesn't necessarily mean he won't play for less money here. It's all about the principle of it for him.
He just has no leverage. Either he takes what they offer, or they let him and his career rot away and fester on the bench.
HILLS DEVELOPMENT..he needs to grow now or else Marbury will take over. I hope Steph still got his scoring ability, I still see this is an upgrade, Im tired we pickin up nobody but Mason this offseason...Marbury,Mcdyess anybody please go ahead come.....Fook salary cap and all that bull , Spurs is really cheap ass if you compare salary spending with other CONTENDERS.
his leverage is $20M and a roster spot.
, i'd take $20M to do nothing. no problem at all.

Players Roll Their Eyes At Marbury Squabble
As Stephon Marbury held a lockerroom debate with a reporter about the logic of accepting less money than is owed on his contract, several of his present-day Knick teammates rolled their eyes.
"If I owed you $100 and I said I'm going to give you $80, what would you say?" Marbury asked the reporter.
One Knick gestured with his thumb, evidently tossing Marbury out of the ballgame.
The Knicks are reportedly willing to pay Marbury the lion's share of what remains on his contract. The team would get a modest discount equal to the amount that Marbury earns from another team, plus the dollar-for-dollar luxury tax savings; Marbury would take in the same total salary, while having the chance to play this season.
Mike D'Antoni also raised this type of arrangement with Marbury but the suggestion was not well received.
"They owe me that money! I earned that money!" Marbury told the coach.
"That's why you can't have that guy running your team," a person with knowledge of the Knicks' thinking told Ken Berger of Newsday. "Because he runs it for himself."
Said Berger's source, "The decision is easy because [Marbury] is the one making it. But at this point, it has to be where he sees the daylight and understands, 'You know what? I fought the law, and the law won.
Same. I'm not going to fault Marbury for wanting what is rightfully his.
Wrong. He earned less than whatever they decide to give him, even if they could somehow give him nothing."They owe me that money! I earned that money!" Marbury told the coach.
He wants the Stevie Franchise deal
What he's done is earned a spot sitting behind the bench. They'll leave his dumb ass there all year just to prove a point. They've away bigger gobs of money to prove a point before, and make no mistake about it: they own his ass. He signed a contract for money going forward, which was supposed to be in exchange for continuing to play at a sustained level. It's not money he earned in any way. These are business principles here. It's something I'm sure a semi-literate mouth-breather like you wouldn't understand. If there's any principle in it for him, He'll swallow his pride to take less money in order to buy his freedom, but if he does he's likely to try to make as much of it back as possible, because it's still mostly about the money for him.
pop will prob send hill to toros and sign marbury, knowing pop
... or put marbury on the inactive list ala melvin ely.
-- Reverand Mike D'Antoni.No, no, no , no. Not Marbury to San Antonio . . .
God damn San Antonio!
We need offense. Jacque Vaughn would be out.
