the last time i check Stephon Marbury was the man on these streets.

Last time I checked Marbury got robbed at a stoplight. But thats not the point, the NBA is like the stock market you gotta sell high and buy low. Right now Marbury's stock is not at its highest point.By the trade deadline his stock should be higher.

But Dont get me wrong I want Marbury to retire as a Knick.

Marbury's trading value isnt low--it is what it is. Just because you dont get so-called equal value doesn't mean something wont turn into a good team for the trade. These people who are saying Marbury retire as a Knick? Marbury doesnt hold water against guys like Ewing Starks Oakley,THOSE GUys are REAL Knicks, heck, he doesnt even hold water against houston or ward. Starbury came here much later in his career and hasnt been involved in anything in terms of what the 90s were.

I agree with isiah in what he is doing, I dont agree with his pick at 8. As a fan Im willing to give him his latitude, including Frye and trading whoever he wants AFTER this draft for the next two years--WITH th execption of acquiring A Walker If he wants to trade Marbury, if he wants Brown Swift or whoever else, Im on board until I see evidnece that he failed. I look at it like this, he had one try here, spent a lot of money and it didnt work, hes starting from scratch and what he feels is right, Im on board with. People say this is not right timing? well thats wrong because there are a bunch of tea,s with cap space players picks ending contracts that could satify a reasonable transaction. As long as names like Walker or Dampier Finley etc.. are not associated with Marbury, Im fine with it.

If he trades for Harrington[who I dont like but acknowledge has an ending contract]other crap and picks, thats fine.

I never said Marbury Stock was low. I said its just not at its highest point. And if we trade Marbury we are obviously rebuilding. Why trade Marbury to a team (that has a bunch of expiring contracts) that is not giving up any draft picks. Even though Im not in favor of a Marbury trade we have to get Draft picks and/or Josh smith

you know, we actually have a team in place that will flourish with marbury and marbury will flourish with as well. we have players that will cut to the basket instead of standing and watching. ariza, and q on the wings. frye on the high block. these guys complement marbury's style - something he didn't have since that one season in pheonix. i would like to see what he does with this unit and this will probably be his last shot here. if he fails, then he's as good as gone hurting his value in the process. if he flourishes, then damn, we got an elite PG.

we'll see how it all shapes up. on paper, things are looking GREAT for steph, from his complementary players to finally having a legitimate backup to give him 15 mins off a night.

now, we need a coach that will instill a system and discipline and that will command respect.

i'm VERY excited by the prospects of this team and watching how it develops.

but like others have said, as long as we don't see members of the NO THANKS CLUB here, then it's all good.
