If Marbury were going anywhere we probably would've taken Williams. As Steph goes, so goes the Knicks...

Yup, Isiah's and Steph's futures are intertwined.

Great...draft 2 small forwards in the draft and then go out and trade to get another...Can someone tell Isiah the idea is to have a manageable number of players at each position at the same time!

I wonder if Isiah's been pitching Marbury/Francis/Crawford as a PG of the future for Atlanta (in exchange for Al Harrington in a sign and trade), since it's such a glaring need for them.

Marbury on paper looks like a great fit w/ the Hawks--- with his history as a GA Tech Yellowjacket only helps... but the Marbury/Joe Johnson combo did not work when they were teammates in Phoenix. That's a big problem. Francis has the high-flying athleticism that matches the Hawks system... so I guess he's the more logical fit.
At the same time... I'd rather have Francis as our PG...

The Knicks are very packed at the guard spot. They have 4 (or 5, including Rose) players that are probably best as PGs and they'd do very well to put together a package to weed out some of their "excess" talent.

I'm thinking Francis/Rose or Francis/Taylor for some package based around Harrington.

but do u think al harrington will be worth about 10 million?!

if they add a player to match the salries dat makes our roster up to possibly 17
