Knicks don't need Artest now. Our problem cannot be solved by adding a player who is not a leader. If anything, Artest may cause even more problems considering how unstable this team already is. He needs stability, love, and success.
This team needs to shed itself of heavy baggage like Marbury, Rose, etc. AD & Penny will be gone one way or another. I hope Isiah will move them for picks or good solid player(s). If not just let their contracts expire.
We need a real star who can lead this young group, or picks that can turn into players like Chris Paul.
I guess we shouldnt call marbury baggage just yet

This is a rebuilding team with mostly young guys. I want my vets to teach and be good examples for the youth. I want them to make the youth better.
Does Marbury do that? NOPE. He is always about 'me'. He seems like a likable guy outside the court, but on the court, he is not a good team player. At least, he does not fit with Larry's style of play.
So, I say he's a baggage. He's slowing down this team's progress. Imagine if we had Chris Paul, Nash, Kidd, etc. I'm sure the team looks & operates better. They still might have hard time playing for Brown, but I doubt they'd have the same pathetic manner and attitude like Marbury does.
