Isiah Thomas is gone, Zach Randolph had already been traded and now only one obstacle rermains from the triumvirate of New York Knicks' headaches. Disgruntled guard Stephon Marbury continue to hug the headlines lately with his never-ending lambasting of the Gotham City squad.
Marbury had not seen action since the start of the 2008-09 season and for sure, he will not be part of coach Mike D'Antoni's grand plans this year. The 12-year pro out of Georgia Tech is well known in the NBA circles as a "prima donna" kind of player. No doubt, Marbury is blessed with superb basketball skills but he is likewise a big headache to his coaches and teammates. Last year, he refused to suit up in an outing in one of the Knicks west coast road swing just because he would not start a game.
His latest brouhaha came out a few days ago as he criticized the team and his co-Knicks. He blame his teammates for not siding with his telenovela acts. And as a result, Knicks President Donnie Walsh had issued an order to Marbury to stay away from from the team (both in practice and actual games). It's the best decision the team can do right now as they try to improve their 8-8 win-loss card. The Knicks had just won only four of their last ten games. So that will be the scenario from hereon as both the Knicks and Marbury continue their discussions on a possible contract buy-out.
Get Marbury out quickly and expect a big turn-around in the Knicks campaign this season!
