according to SAS on today's radio show:

- many players on the knicks do not like stephon marbury and do not want to play with him

- isiah wants to bring in the franchise even if they can't move steph

i wonder who dislikes steph. never really seemed like to many people hated him.

I guess SAS does have some credibility, but I just dont see all this hate for steph manifest when the players are on the court, and also I remember them saying stuff about how they miss marbury when he first got injured, although I suppose they could have just been saying the right thing for the cameras, but its not like they have been playing well in his absense. oh well we'll just have to wait and see how things develop, all I know is if steph is traded becuase he is a cancer than it doesnt make sense to acquire francis who as far as Im concerned is a bigger cancer.

I don't know why either....they all hang out together so I dunno about the word hate.

It's not like the other players pass either. Craw, Nate and Q over looked Frye and Woods at least 15 times combined during yesterdays game......instead they took bad shots.....Craw happened to make some of those bad shots so unless you saw the game you won't know what I'm talking about.

So whatever......you don't have to like the person just play hard and together and win.

Q Rich wanted to kick his arse according to Steven A... i think Marbury could use a nice arse kickin too... he needs to be more humble.

Q Rich could sure use it more than Marbury. Q lives in a "glass house" and is the last player who should be throwing stones at others.

how is he living in a glass house? the guy's been through alot of crap the past few months... he's never backed down from any player... i think Q would kick Marbury's butt if you asked me... i bet Marbury's a punk when it comes down to it... he doesn't look like he'd step to anyone willing to fight back... just my impression of him.

Q's terrible play started way before any of the crap he's had began. If you're averaging 7 pts and 30% shooting, just focus all your energy on becoming a respectable player again.

what does his level of play have to do w/Marbury needing to learn some humility or the fact that he's a punk? is it a coincidence that 2 of his own teammates wanted to kick his arse in the past year?

^ Not to kick a man when he is down, but that is two teammates that we know of. Remember we don't know about PHX, NJ, and Minny...

We know KG didn't speak to him for years. I don't think J. Kidd is a fan of the best point guard in the NBA either.

i didn't read the Q quote so i can't comment on that... can u give me a link?

Let's face it, Steph is not a teddy-bear likable type of guy. I don't think any of that would matter if he were healthy and the team was winning.

I was going by your statement of Q wanting to kick Marbury's ass. I assumed you had heard a specific quote when you posted that in this thread.

SAS was talking about it on his show... he's pretty much in tune w/what goes on behind the scenes w/the Knicks, so i take his word for it... just because Q wanted to kick Marbury's arse doesn't point to anything other than the fact that Marbury was probably acting like a punk & Q was sick of it.
