There isn't a team in the league that isn't 2 players away.

code - you know like I know there are no guarantees. Just look at how much ground the post-Jordan Chicago Bulls covered over a 7 year period, only to be in current chaos over Kobe rumors and being little more than a collection of jump shooters.
But I digress. Yoot will be served more minutes quicker than expected. Time to step up. It's almost game time. once a knick always a knick

I've thought about it, and this does kind of suck because marbury could be a good contributor to the team, ala Q Rich.
QRich is pretty limited, but he gives his all on defense and that's all we are asking. It'd be cool if we won. Let's go Knicks. That's amare

misterearl, I am not sure how Marbury should be treated when he returns. If there was a true leader as captain that might be something that would be handled by him. If Isiah gave permission as Marbury claims, management should not have an issue. Marbury makes too much money to be bought out and I do not think anyone else would take him. As I have posted, Marbury is the same guy he has always been. The difference now seems to be that Isiah finally is realizing that he can't win with him. I also think he is an easy scapegoat for all of Isiah's other troubles. Marbury is not as articulate as Thomas, does not have a good image in the media, is thought by some to be crazy, and does not do the things that winning players or franchise players do. He is not well liked by fans and I am not sure how his teammates feel about him. The one guy who has stood by him is Isiah. I have wanted Marbury gone for along time and under other circumstances I would be very pleased that the Knicks might finally be making a move in the right direction. However, I see this as another ploy by Isiah to keep his job. Marbury is so disliked or at least thought of as what is wrong with the Knick franchise that sacrificing him might help Thomas with Dolan, the fans, and possibly the media. I think the bigger problem is Thomas.

CrushALot - your thoughtful post begins to touch on this classic ego struggle that Marbury can never win. Not only is he struggling with taking direction he is fighting a losing battle that none of us win. He is fighting time. once a knick always a knick

The problem is , some of us feel that Isiah shouldnt roll the dice with Marbs from day one. It's bitting us back in the ass 4/5 years on.

It's quite clear who here works for MSG and who was a "lover" but not working for MSG. For example, at such a low moment as today, holfresh began crossing over to the dark side. It's clear Earl & Nixluva work for MSG. They're probably the same person, actually.

bonn - you funny
the silly lover/hater tags are about as irrelevant as it gets. "It seems like he and I go through this every November, then a couple of weeks go by and we kind of kiss and make up, then we go back to the business of trying to win basketball games," - Isiah Thomas bonn - the question remains - do Steph and Zeke kiss and make up, or do you WANT them to kiss and make up? NOT who is a lover or hater. C'mon... once a knick always a knick
