Knicks Tell Stephon Marbury to Go Away: "After meeting with Stephon and his representative this afternoon, we have directed Stephon not to participate in practice or attend games until further notice. We want to continue to meet with him to discuss a long-term resolution." -- Knicks President Donnie Walsh

I read that Marbury was asking for one million less than his total contract amount as a buyout. I can't imagine Donnie Walsh giving up his "no buyout" mentality for that little money. He's not much of a distraction if he's not with the team now and Marbury's the one losing valuable contract earning time here.
I hope they let him sit all year.

I always thought when Isiah Thomas left, Marbury would have gone with him. They're like father and son (of a dysfunctional family), and both have had a big hand in ruining the Knicks.

"Shawn Kemp"s house?" I nearly spurted coffee all over my screen. That was hilarious! Marbury is a spoiled brat.

The Giants should do the same with Plaxico Burress.
