one thing i will say about marbs...throughout his entire tenure here, he's never really lied. he's stated things from his point of view but i don't think he's ever just outright lied.

Marbury is too out there to lie much.

BY the way, remember after LB season? Nate Robinson, David Lee, and Channing Frye all dogged out Brown. I'll give you one chance to guess who did not dog out Brown.

You know what makes me the maddest about Marbury? He ended Jason Williams' career with that mega-noggin!

oohah

I explained my position very well you're just wanting people to see things your way.

i'm explaining my position the same as you are... i don't care if u agree w/me or not.

Then stop taking my quotes and throwing in the thought Marbury is being given a free pass. Stop saying I'm putting most of the blame on mgmt. I'm disappointed it took them 4mos to figure how to deal with a jerk with an end result that should have been reached 4mos ago. Quote the posts/poster where they are giving Marbury a free pass not mine.

that's why i'm saying u're putting the onus of the blame on management & not on Steph... how am i wrong? that's been your main point from the very beginning... i've been countering u by saying it doesn't matter how management handled the situation, Marbury has an obligation to play whenever called upon... i'm placing the blame on Marbury for not fulfilling the terms of his contract... i also already told u i didn't like how MDA made this whole situation public to the press... doesn't make a difference when it comes to Marbury here... if u'r in agreement w/me on that then i don't see what the problem is.

I already told you I agree with this although I don't think the GM did a good job hearing both sides. I even implied fining him even more if at all possible if the details prove such. If I told you I didn't think he deserved to be suspended then I could see your point. Or if I said our coach and gm are more wrong than Marbury I could see your point. I'm discussing the fact we shouldn't have arrived to this situation... this late in the season(although still many games left to be played but late for us considering our recent yrs of bad publicity). It's no different than David Stern's recommendation to Dolan to not go to court with ABS. She very well could have been telling bold face lies, 100% wrong, but for the sake of the league, for the sake of professionalism, settle the matter quickly, internally, without the media drama. I think we could have done this without a shadow of a doubt with Marbury months ago. I'm not debating Marbury's obligation to the team, although possibly you still are(his obligation is understood and a given). I've seen your admissions regarding coach, no need to testify to me again about it. Don't misconstrue my stance or put words in my mouth or say I'm giving Marbury a pass because I'm not and haven't since posting on this topic. I already told you if player is healthy and under contract he's obligated to play...no choices, no coddling, no stroking of egos.
