The Knicks and Stephon Marbury failed to reach a resolution on the guard’s status during their much-anticipated meeting on Monday, according to Marbury’s lawyer, Hal Biagas.

“It’s not resolved,” Biagas said after emerging from a 35-minute meeting with Knicks president Donnie Walsh.

“We’re keeping it in-house,” Biagas added. “I have no comment. I’ll keep you posted if things happen.”

Marbury, Biagas, and Walsh met at the Knicks training facility on Monday at 2:30 p.m.

Marbury left the meeting after 15 minutes and sat in his Rolls Royce until Biagas, who works for the Players Association, exited 20 minutes later. Marbury’s driver drove to the entrance to pick up Biagas.

Marbury refused to comment when he left. It is unclear if he is suspended for Tuesday’s game against Portland. Walsh also isn’t commenting. It is unclear if any future meetings are scheduled.

This is ****ing stupid. Just release him and pay him all his money. I've had enough of this stupid ass storyline.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I see no harm in letting him rot on the bench OR banning him from showing up. One way or another he will get the money, no need to let him laugh his way off to a good Eastern Conf team. I really couldn't care less if this guy never gets to play another game in his NBA career

Oh OK good. The more this is prolonged, the better.

I think they should send him home so he is not around the team. Other than that, I have no problem with them making him the 15th man. I don't think you can cut him at this point without asking for some conditions. If he won't agree, just send him home.

Agreed. As long as he has no contact with the team and is barred from the facilities, the lockerroom and the bench, it doesn't bother me. Let him rot for all I care.

But I repeat, I don't think Marbs wants to play. Long-term sitting is a bad move for him financially. If he goes somewhere and plays well there is a good chance he gets an extension or another suitable contract. The longer he sits, the lower that contract becomes. He needs to way that against what he would stand to lose(if anything) by accepting a buyout. But of course ego is getting in the way of his long-term financial earning ability. This man, really needs an agent.

The question remains: Does he want to play?

Seriously. All of the complaints about this being the topic. I find it an interesting topic. It's always interesting to try to understand how utter psychos like Stephon Marbury think. It's a shame Steph doesn't have anyone in his life, family, friends, whatever... to tell him how stupid he's being. Instead they compliment him for being "professional" -- most ridiculous statement I've ever heard in my life.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Dolan's at least a little psychotic too. Don't leave him out of the picture!

It's all over the place. How can I not read about it? That's all anyone talks and writes about.

You enjoy reading about Marbury every day?

I actually do. I find it funny. The bottom line is the man has lost the love for basketball and does not want to play. I'm sticking to that theory.

Of course. Compared to Steph, Dolan is sane, though, as scary as it sounds. Personally, I don't have any problem with the Knicks trying to get Steph to accept a buyout. Since he'll have gotten what... $90 million out of the Knicks over 4 1/2 years, when his poor attitude has made him an overall negative impact... I think him getting even a single dime this year is more than generous.

I really don't understand what is so hard about figuring out how much someone is owed, then paying them for it

If the contract says he gets 21 million (or whatever amount it exactly is) just give it to him and be done with this fiasco

Why should he get paid for not playing and having been a cancer to the team since his arrival? If you go to the store and buy a computer, take it home and find out it's busted, do you say, "oh well"? In Marbury's case, it's not just busted, but it also blew out every electronics appliance in the house. Why shouldn't he be held accountable?
