Marbury, QRich At It Again
4th March, 2006 - 10:30 am
New York Daily News - After the Knicks lost their sixth straight game on Friday, the New York Daily News reports that guards Stephon Marbury and Quentin Richardson were involved in a heated locker room exchange.

Last month, the Daily News reported that Richardson had to be restrained from going after Marbury the day after a loss to the Lakers. Jerome James also was heard shouting after last night's defeat.

"I just hate to lose, period," Richardson said. "But when you lose the way we lost it's even worse."

I've been one of Stephon Marbury's strongest supporters but I've had enough now. I'm tired of his primadona act, I'm tired of his no defense, I'm tired of the smug attitude towards teammates. Marbury is arguing with Quentin Richardson who has played good defense all year, all the while Stephon argues calls on the other side of the court and lets his man have open shots nor does he play any defense when he's actually on that side of the court to begin with. His time with me in NY is up. Grow up Stephon, you've been coddled all your life and you continue you to be coddled now, your the furthest thing from a leader and captain that the New York Knicks have ever seen. Sad problem is that we're stuck with this loser for the next 30000000 years.

ive been supporting Q all year and im sick and tired of marbury and his BS...guy needs to grow up seriously, Q has been playin off in the beginning but he;s doing better now and he actually cares about losing

and why was jerome james shouting for???....food?

I don't want to read into this too much, but maybe Q is stepping up as the team leader? It could just be a clash of personalities though.

i think Sweetney snuck into the Knicks' locker room during a timeout & stole his stash of Snickers bars.

Well, we have no idea what the argument was about, so to totally put the blame on Marbury is a little unfair. But, with that said, I agree that Marbury needs to go. Have been saying it since December. Move him to Minny, for McCants, Griffin, some deadweighted contracts and their first round pick. Minny is picking 11th right now and Knicks would have a lot of options with that pick.

Shelden Williams, Richard Roby, Rondo, and maybe Brewer migth all be there.

The fact that Marbury is arguing with one of the very few guys on this team who actually tries night in and night out is the problem I have. I don't care what the fight was about, although I would bet the house that it was about Q telling Stephon to play better defense which probably ticked off Marbury becuase he's never had people tell him what to do.

or run the play on offense...probably both.

If we trade Marbury and the only significant player we get is Shelden, I'd be dissapointed. I think you guys are overrating him. he's strong as an ox, yes, but he very slow and mechanical. He reminds me Antonio Davis. The old one.

Id rather move up to get a guy like Tyrus Thomas who is an explosive leaper and will be one of the elit shot blockers in the league. Or Rodney Carney, Brewer or Richard Roby.

Ppl are too worried about getting "fair compensation" for Steph.


I think getting his ass out of town is "fair compensation".

exactly. equal market value is bringing in another max player with similar issues. that's not what we need.
we need guys that know their role and shut their mouths.
