- i didn't know how to deal with adversity and this year, coach taught me how to deal with adversity.
- coach told me he didn't want to trade me unless it was for kobe or kg and steph told him "he should trade me for one of those guys" (everyone laughed)
then it was bad audio and they cut away...
...joined in progress
- what did you talk about? we talked about about trust and that they have to be on the same page. they talked about life and nothing about bball.
- do you want this team together? for sure. this is really a good team.
- when you all were winning, you were inside of a car going 100mph and had total control of the wheel. then all of the sudden you lose control and go off the cliff. that's what this season was.
- do you feel lb is the right guy to coach this team? no comment.
- what do lb and you have to do to make it to work? no comment.
- what did you learn? everybody has to come in committed but they have to change some things. everybody has to get on the same page.
- this has been the best year of my life. it's more about bball, it's about bigger picture.
- most memorable thing lb said to you today: we just gotta trust each other. we didn't trust each other this year or the year would've been alot better otherwise they wouldn't have done this in paper.
- steph told lb that he made him a better man.
- how do you achieve trust? communication, going out to eat together, know his family and he knows steph's family.
- that's why i asked for a podium so you all can hear me. no more BS in the papers so i can call you out on it.
- if lb communicated with me like he did today, they would've been in a way better position.
- how can you trust him now? b/c lb told him to trust him.
- what kind of commitments did isiah make to you? he didn't.
- why did you say no comment when asked if coach is the right guy for the team? no comment.

Since Tim Thomas had me believing that he was going to compete for the WBA heavyweight title I've learned not to listen to anything any of these guys say. Do it on the court. All this talk is just fodder for the papers and all you people that talk on those silly message boards.
I just hope that people will like me

Funny thing, is why does Brown continue to tease the man. Lets face it. Why tell everyone else that you want to make changes but tell the guy I would only trade you for Kobe and KG. Unless you think Marbury is lying. Something is wrong with Brown. This childish games are nutso. You can't promise everyone something, then just go to the press and say screw them. Most curious indeed, deception, betrayal, illness, lust, envy and per Brown dellusions. This season had it all for the Knicks, Pierce is right this is the best soap opera on right now.

LOL, isn't he doing what Bip suggest. Damn if you do, damn if you don't.
btw, it looks like Marbs has been working on his PR.

I personally think it's out of Browns hands...The Knicks need a big name to play in the Garden...It's what pays the bills for Dolan...Thats why I think the trade to Minny for no name players will never happen....Dolan needs to fill the Garden at all cost...If Marbs get traded, it will be for a big name player....

He is not the draw that Marbs is...As you can quickly see, Marbs is a better player..Marbs may be unpopular here but still has the top three selling Jersey in the league...

I think the plan changed a bit, cuz LB changed his tune. After talking with Isaiah, he probably realizes now that he DOESN'T have the power to just trade Steph, cuz like Pharzeone said, Dolan doesn't want to trade Steph. Steph is still a NAME that fans can identify. LB tried to drive a wedge between steph and the Fans this year and he was successful with many fans. I didn't buy it, cuz it was clear to me that LB was doing a HORRIBLE job this year and he was just looking for a scapegoat. Steph provides an easy target.
I'm glad that everyone is speaking more calmly today and reason is taking over. The emotions of this season had guys a little crazy. Its not likely that any big deals will go down. Perhaps a trade of Francis, Jalen and MO. But really we're kind of stuck with this group, due to contracts and recent poor performances.
