I think the Marburization of Nate continues. The fine may be coming from the NBA and not the Knicks but is a little over the top IMO, especially since it was something his agent said and not him.

does the Marburization of Nate imply that marbury was a good player who the organization made look bad and forced out of town? if that's true for marbury was has no one else signed him?

these players need to take some responsibility for their actions - nate's agent wouldn't have said that if nate didn't want him to.

I think he is trying to draw parallels with the demonetization of the two, but obviously one was clearly more deserving of ire than the other.

This Nate situation is growing absurd. Are the Knicks addicted to drama to the point where they actively seek it out and attempt to provoke? Why isnt there the same dedication to winning?

It seems like we are assured one of these soap operas every year. In almost all cases, these situations are easily avoidable.

the Nate situation may be absurd to you and some others but not me.

That is exactly what I am referring too. We have seen this movie before. This situation is a negative especially when the goal is to lure free agents next year.

He told the New York Post that president Donnie Walsh has talked to him about his concerns, but that D'Antoni has yet to speak with him.

"As a player you always want to know what's going on," Curry said. "That's his style I guess. I'm not in any position to question his style. I'm just going to roll with it and hopefully I'll get out there."

"He understands right now where we are," D'Antoni said in a comment that completely contradicted what the center said.
I don't think D'Antoni is handling these situations in the right way. It gives the appearance that if a player is not the perfect teammate and he tires of them, he banishes and shuns them. D'Antoni knew what the roster was when he took more money over the Bulls job. He knew who Nate was when he was resigned this offseason. He continues to put Walsh in a bad position and takes away from the value of potential assets.

Any top FA who has respect for the game of backetball will approve what MDA is doing with Nate.
Nate making a mocery from the game avery time he steps on the court. It is all about him, not about the team.
The only exuse I can take for him - he has a mind of kindergardener. But no exuses for his agent - he knows what he is doing.
That's why Nate can say whatever he want, but his agent shoud think about what he is talking about.

My problem with the Knicks management is that they make stupid decisions. They are player value killers. They devalue thier own team.
Remember what I say!! Nate will be a force in this league. Not with the Knicks but with another team. Now he is being fined but thats alright because he know once he gets out of New York he ain't looking back. Just like Ariza.

You can't expect to be taken seriously with a post like this right?

why should the knicks do nate any favors when nate hasn't done the team any favors? especially after rewarding him with a bigger contract that they had to this offseason and he's done nothing to show good faith to the team.

I am damn serious.
Ask Lebron or Wade if they want to have Nate on their team dancing and shooting at his own basket while losing?
He will have his a..ss kicked and send away from the team in no time.

Maybe the problem was that he felt he could do that in the situation he was in. I guarantee he wouldn't do it if he played for Phil, Pop, Sloan, Frank, Skiles, or most coaches. Was the problem that Nate's teammates didn't police him enough or that the coach allowed things to go too far and then reacted by shunning him and passing the problem onto the gm? If MDA knew he couldn't coach Nate he needed to communicate this in a strong manner over the summer to Walsh.

So in your skewed perception of our culture, the Man is to blame for all, right? And Mr. Lowly Working Man Millionaire is a victim?? Give break to me. Is all men we're talking about, not boys, although Nate acts like one.

MDA treats his players the way they should be treated. Is not his fault they are nowhere near that in reality.
