i'd just cut marbury the day after the deadline to sign for the playoffs - just because. period. marbs can go rot. i said he was a cancer before he got here, while he was here and after he will be gone.

Yeah, but DW is trying to bring an air of professionalism back to this organization so I highly doubt he'll do Steph like that - whether he deserves it or not.

Little Jimmy, on the other hand, is a vindictive dullard and WOULD do Steph like that.

taking back two million out of like 20 or 21, or whatever the hell it is, is way too sweetheart. We're essentially giving him 18-19 million for doing nothing -- if you dont count being a pain in the ass. I dont want to sound like one of those guys, but something is just morally wrong about that.

actually it would be $4m discount for knicks due to luxury tax.

Knicks have already paid him like $10 million anyway. He's been getting paid all this time.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

You know what? Let them do whatever they want with Marbury. He is really gone, and Im enjoying it. For those who talk about bad publicity or that the franchise can't move on with him in the roster, guess what? The Knicks play in NY, have terrible players and are coming off one of their darkest eras. No matter that happened with Marbury, it was ugly anyway but its slowly getting better, and that's the bottom line.

About him still in the roster and we moving on, let me tell you, we've moved on. Marbury hasn't played a single regular season game for us, is in the last year of his contract and has wisely staid away from the newspapers. The Knicks have won and lost without him, have a good point guard guiding them and have hope in the play of youngsters like Lee, Chandler, Gallinari and Nate.

Its over, whether its now or in the offseaon. The Marbury era is over and I sincerely don't care if they buy him out and he scores 50 on us next day.

Do as you wish, Dolan. Its your money, your business. Just make sure the Knicks keep going on the right direction.

who cares about bad publicity? We suck, thats what we need to be concerned about.

If I'm the owner, I'm not just going to hand him 20 million so he can go play for another team. Its just the principle involved. Alright, I am contractually obligated to pay you? fine. But either give me some of that jack back, or you can rot.

Exactly. But be careful who you argue with because we both know if Marbury is cut at the top of the season and followed that by performing well with another team cats would be on that "we let him go for nothing" nonsense. Some cats are just born to talk noise no matter what.

Untrue. I can hardly be the only fan who said we do what's in our best interests and should not be concerned with what Marbury could have done on another team. Our concern lies with our team. Given our state he could not hurt us. What he does elsewhere is of no consequence.

As to the whole who cares about bad publicity we suck - part of the reason we've sucked for so long is the unprofessional manner in which the franchise had been run.

At this point either Marbury accepts the buyout of 2M or we need to tell him to go home and wait until the summer. Waiving him March 2nd to screw with his eligibility or acting like baffoons in the media blasting Steph and demanding 5M or more from him would be a continuation of the very methods that put us in this mess in the first place. So I really hope we don't go that route.

We're cleaning up our act, and if that upsets some that it means Marbury won't be punished or embarrassed, then so be it.

I hope he accepts the offer. If he does not we need to just turn the page and stop talking about him as a franchise and make a statement that he will be retained until his contract expires at the end of the season. No big deal. Just do it professionally that's all I ask as a fan. Enough with Dolan and Isiah making a mockery of this franchise with their immature school kid level methodology.

That was eloquent and well-spoken. My retort is **** Stephon Marbury.
