In whose system? LB doesn't have "ballers" in his system...remember, marbs only has to go because he's not "grasping LB's system", what makes you think Jalen will? Isn't Crawford a "baller"? He went from 17 points a game to 3 under LB, expect Jalen's 16 PPG to shrink even further.

We know marbs is better at filling the basket than rose and mike james combined.

Jalen is a baller I don't think he better than both of those dudes combined

Heck, LB hated Lebron and Melo. You guys aren't paying attention to Vescey's point, his point was that Marbs isn't getting it, not that he's a jinx or the knicks need cap room.

LB had a problem with Iverson for pete's sake and Vescey wrote a column that the Sixers were going to trade iverson...that came true as well.

Marbs has to go because he eats half the cap and is not a legitimate franchise player. His performance, in short is not commensurate with his salary, and unless we can get our stuff together to make a serious run in the playoffs this is not a well-structured club to build for the future. JCraw, QRich, Marbs, JJ? No, our future is with curry, frye, lee. Out of the young players, only curry, frye and maybe lee have serious potential, and we have one bloated-ass payroll. If we had our picks still, we would have the option of tanking and stocking quality young players, but it's just not something we can even do now.

On another note, Zeke seems pretty incompetent (aside from the curry trade) at trading for flawed players with 'potential' while being a good eye for talent in the draft. Honestly, I don't think we're winning crap with marbury as our go to guy, and I'd like to see us package either him or craw with one of our mistakes (JJ perhaps) in a trade for a 1-2 yr expiring deal. I don't even know if he's desirable enough for a gm to take on an additional contract along with his the way we did.

The Raptors will not make the playoffs since they would have Marbury on the team!.

Hasn't anybody figured it out when Marbury is on the team they have little to no chance of making the playoffs, it's a fact!.

Marbury's made the playoffs in four years. That's far more than a lot of stars who don't get the criticism he gets.
