Stephon Marbury told The Post yesterday that he is done with the NBA. He will never get a second chance with the Knicks like Isiah Thomas, whose NBA life was resuscitated by James Dolan on Friday.

"Good luck, New York," Marbury said wryly in reacting to Thomas' return to the Knicks as a part-time consultant. "Good luck, New York."

Marbury, who began training Friday in Los Angeles to get ready for the Chinese Basketball Association season that starts in December, and Thomas still are next-door neighbors in Purchase, N.Y. The two are intertwined in Knicks history with their falling-out symbolizing the franchise's plummet to rock bottom.

this may be the most valuable assist (or is it a dime?) that Marbs ever had with the Knicks

Dolan's decision to make Thomas a part-time consultant, The Post reported yesterday, has team president Donnie Walsh livid. Walsh told Thomas two weeks ago he did not want him working for the organization. Thomas went to Dolan to hatch a side consulting deal without Walsh's knowledge, leaving the Knicks president's status compromised.

"It's terrible what Dolan did to Donnie," one source said. "It's a disaster."

Marbury said he isn't surprised, feeling his banishment by coach Mike D'Antoni was also out of Walsh's hands.

"It looked to me like Donnie didn't have the power," Marbury said.


Interesting what Crackbury has to say.

He even implies that Isiah asked him to lie under oath to save his ass. I guess Dolan hated him since then for doing that to his buddy.

I hate Marbury but he was a central figure under the Isiah Era and he has valuable insight others don't have.

On a side note, the Knicks fan page on Facebook (100,000+ fans) was getting bombarded with anti-Isiah rhetoric.

In typical Knicks old school anti-media Nazi style, they have been deleting nearly every bad word said about Thomas on the page. Looks like Dolan has his minions prepared.

I think what's most surprising about that is that I'm not surprised at all

i thought this part was most interesting:

Why aren't ANY of the so-called "sources" named?

Not one.

This franchise is ****ed. Donnie has done a very nice job of turning the ship in the right direction and this only proves what we all fear. Isiah will again become the GM of the Knicks. If that day ever happens I'm pretty sure the city and the fans are going to hav a hard to rooting for this team.

This piece of human garbage drove away fans and a loyal following and destroy the franchise. And there was a lot of under the surface stories that will never get out about just what a piece of **** Isiah really is. It's very troubling that Walsh wasn't allowed to hire a GM.

why you so clamped down? why not interested in seeing whether there's soemthing more behind it? don't have to believe it either way to have an open mind. you're not being duped by bad journalists to want to see if there's some fire behind that smoke.

Marv - if Isiah Thomas is named General Manager of the Knicks I will be at the front of the mob with a lighted torch and pitchfork.

Until then, I'm trying to work on my second serve, watching video clips of Timofey Mozgov, crossing my fingers for Ray Felton's crossover and praying that Anthony Randolph learns the art of landing gracefully after flying through the air for a reverse dunk.

The only thing dumber then hiring Isiah would be hiring Layden to be his assistant.
I just hope that people will like me

I think you give Marbury too much credit. Insight is not a strong point of his.

Really, martin?

How can you say that a man with such perceptive, thought-provoking statements such as "We always wanna win the trophy. We call that shiny stuff" or "I do it like this to get closer to the light" or "I can't give the kids what they need if they don't have it" lacks insight?

The fact that this man was admitted to an institution of higher learning is an absolute indictment of the system.

Wow, so many haters. Just don't be trying to jump on the bandwagon when Isiah is named GM and takes the Knicks to a championship.

HOW is this an assist. He's mad because IT is/may get a 2nd chance with NY while he will not. He's not saying, it would be a bad idea, he's saying, hey, howz about giving me the 2nd chance too.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

Not to worry. I'm sure that once Isiah is reinstated he will bring Marbs back.

The only way IT could take the Knicks to the championship, if he was named GM is to stand in a closet and let the people the Walsh had acquired do the job.
