Blue, I just wanna hear a plan a little more sophisticated than get rid of Marbury so we can be 100 billion over the cap instead of 150 billion which will magically lead to big name free agents. If he really is the reason why we are so bad why(which has not been demonstrated) not bench him and find out instead of trading him for nothing?

Geez. the guy has good games leading up this and has one stinker and it's the highway. I hate to see what you would say about Craw if he was the leading man and put up one of his 0 point nights he does every so often.
But fine.
We need Marbs because he is our most conssitent offensive threat. This is indisputable. Craw will have good nnights like tonight. More often he will have terrible nights. Q? Azira? Nate? Not nearly as good night in and out. Curry? probably a little less inconsistent than Craw. Channing has been pretty good. You keep saying you want Marbs gone b/c he's a bad leader. Fine. So who's gonna lead the team when we're gone then? If anyone on the team is a better leader they'd already be doing it. SO what's your grand plan BS? Who are you gonna bring in for Marbs that's gonna turn this around..Oh that's right..Marbs for non-existant cap space.
you're still looking for a quick fix. There is no quick fix, there is no new savior. But Marbury is bleeding this team like a torn artery. You gotta handle the major wounds first.
People keep saying that his detractors think if we cut him we'll emerge leaders, like the Suns or Nets. If only that were true. I'm just trying to scape us out of the gutter.
We were 16-13 this time last year with an equal or worse squad than this. Can anyone remember what happened next?
Look, it's true this team has a lot of sore spots, but remember the medical term 'triage'. You have to handle the most critical injuries first.
and this pissy little power struggle between Steph and Brown is a major embarrassment to Isiah, and he let it be known in the WFAN interview with Francesa that he's fine if LB doesn't budge, and if Marbury can't or wont adapt he will be moved.
