Marbs has really turned me against him last year...He should really be gone so this organization can move on...That said, he is the only guy right now on this team that can make the Knicks watchable/somewhat competitive this year...The picture of Marbs running the point in Boston to another Championship will be tough for Knick management as well...The press won't let them forget it if Marbs plays well elsewhere...I'm sure they are thinking about that because the Knicks will stink this year again....

It's in his contract. He has every right to demand every penny and if the Knicks don't live up to their bargain, without Marbury's permission, he has every right to sue.

no one should expect these guys to do otherwise... none of us would in their place either... what's in a contract is what's in a contract, bottomline... if the Knicks don't want him anymore, Marbs is not under any obligation to take anything less than what's owed him... same goes for Zach or anyone else on this team... i don't know why anyone would think these guys would take a lesser buyout & do the Knicks any favors when they have no real reason to do so... feelings of guilt don't factor here... this is binness.

He should have the common sense to.......Ah, never mind, we talking Steph here!

Nothing common with him, and no sense at all.

He is a good guy in a way. Ego centric beyond belief, not mean spirited (anymore) and looney tunes to the max.

I hope we can make him a knick for life.

And bring back Isiah too.

"We need to concentrate on how we're going to win, not whether I'm getting waived or if I'm getting all my money," Marbury said.

"It shouldn't matter if I go to a team in the same conference or a rival team," Marbury said. "They are concentrating on the direction best for them. There's nothing wrong with that - nothing wrong with change. If D'Antoni feels he needs to go in another direction with a starting point guard (Chris Duhon), that's fine. I know I'm going to play someplace else.

"I know what I can do on the basketball court. They know as well. There are newspaper writers and other people saying I can't play anymore. I want to prove to my fans . . . what I can do."

Would he be willing to be a backup?

"I'm not coming off the bench here in New York," Marbury said.

"If D'Antoni feels a certain way, he should speak his peace now," Marbury said. "If he feels he's going in a different direction with Duhon, that's fine with me. It's OK. No problem at all. But it shouldn't be about the money. It should be about building the franchise and nobody should be worried where I go."
