Steph is dumb and has a big mouth. Life goes on. Just like Brown has a rep for some poison relationships with his "star" players he's also got a rep for turning them into some incredible results. Talk about how he wanted AI and Billups (add Marbury?) traded till your blue in the face. Bottom line is AI won scoring titles, an MVP and carried his team to the finals. Billups clearly became a better player, said he became a better player, and said it was because of Brown.

This is where you NEED a strong GM with Brown because in some regards he's just as big a pain to deal with as a star player with an attitude problem. That being said those are the same stars that win games and Larry's proven his worth there.

MSG is such a sorry bunch bunch of pu$$ys its offensive. Not one has a dick big enough to put Marbury AND Brown in their collective places and set this thing right. Instead we have Anucha-gate.

Unreal

Holfresh... this is where our pansy GM hurts us also. He should be telling Brown the same thing.

Isiah to Marbury: do exactly what coach Brown asks or you will end up in Atlanta or Portland.
Isiah to Brown: Marbury isnt going anywhere, and he's a good player. Make it work. If its an effort problem I will deal with it. If its an Xs and Os problem its on you.

except Knick land is more like this:

Isiah to Marbury: I'm sooo sorry your not happy. I will do everything I can to make you happy.
Isiah to Larry: I'm sooo sorry these guys arent trying hard enough. We will work on getting you guys next year.

Fish didn't Thomas tell both guys that. He told Marbury he better listen to coach and would be traded if he doesn't. Brown took exception to Thomas telling him that (strange as though it sounds). Thomas wanted to suspend Marbury but Brown said no, he was coaching him. So you got some serious Jedi s$$t going on there. Thomas then told Brown he needs to coach the current roster better and many people on this same forum took exception to that. Thomas is damned if he tries or he doesn't.

Gotta admit on thing.

Its really freaking weird the way this thing is dragging on and on!

The leak, the secrecy, and lack of any communication of what is going on!

Morons.

I hope Stern is involved as Dolan has lost control of his team.

One thing we need is unity on any decisions.

based on how they both (LB+Marb) behaived I would say Isiah didnt, or he did in such a way that it was token at best.

Everyone made such a big deal of Brown calling guys out in the press, but didnt Isiah call Marbury the worst defensive guard in the NBA? Didnt Marbury then play very hard defense for... well, at least a couple weeks?

I think its obvious that there is a lot of token effort as far as leadership. You have to lean on these guys every freakin game. Two games on and one game off does not = good effort. So where does the pressure for more effort come from?

this has very little to do with Steph.


This is just a PR move to make him look good, and put LB in a rough spot.

Nothing out of the ordinary in JD's clownhouse.

how exactly does a statement made by Steph have very little to do w/him?

did you read what i said?

The moment I read the title of that article, I had a vision of someone asking, "if he dies a Knick, does he come off the cap?" Haha, that's horrible isn't it?

LOL...First thing I thought was...um..never mind...I don't want to get in trouble.
