shoot him. jokes aside, I think the only way to get rid of him is for Walsh to order a hit. It's New York, I mean..common.

I really bought it when he said he's fine with beign 6th man, but after that home opener..how he reacted.. I'm starting to think there's no salvation for this guy.

That may hold true for anyone but Stephon. After these horrible years in New York and an overall crappy career, its time that he is shut up and put on the bench. D'Antoni is doing the right thing by trying to make him irrelevant, or less relevant than he is now. Unlike Zach, Stephon is just counting his days out in New York. Being quiet isn't too much to expect from him after everything he's pulled.

Yeah nothing wrong with it but someone has gotta tell him from his inner circle to shut up. He answered this question already. When they ask it again, just say, "I answered that question already". If they are persistant tell them to "google it".

Its a distraction cuz the reporters use it to sell papers and attract viewers. Other players have to be asked questions about steph too. "You hear steph said he think he's a starter?"....it sucks. Craw is being thrown into the mix and they are spinning it. Not good for the team.

I agree, but in Stephs case no matter what he says will be shaped by the media. He'd be better off pretending that he lost his tongue.

I was actually okay with what Steph said. It was in response to a specific question and he stated he wanted to start but was okay with his role. Nothing wrong with that.

And I am a hater

i think he's keeping it real by alluding to the fact that it's the coach's decision & that he can't do nothing about it... everyone knows he thinks he should be starting & isn't happy coming off the bench, we don't really need him to directly come out & say it, it's pretty obvious... that said, he still has to go... he's a clear cause of high tension in that Knicks' lockerroom & i don't see how u can build any team chemistry w/that type of presence keeping you from doing so.

he said that he was still 'really a starter, but he'll do what he has to do'. to me, that's being a jerk..why even mention that you believe you're still a starter if you're ok with comin' off the bench?
