The New York Post is reporting that Knicks Point Guard Stephon Marbury has offered to give the Knicks 1 million of his 22 million dollars owed to him, if the team gives him a buyout.
I feel that Marbury should be granted his release. He brings nothing but negativity to the Knicks and draws the media away from the actual on-court stories. Also, I hate to see players who are on poor terms with their team be buried, in terms of playing time, as Marbury is with the Knicks.
However, with several rumors circulating, stating that Marbury has a good chance to get a job with the Celtics, Donnie Walsh's situation becomes more complex. Even if Boston is the second best team in the East, and is a lock to make the playoffs, why would Walsh want to allow them to get Marbury and become even better? And if Marbury goes to the Celtics, there is a chance that he will have an outstanding game against New York.
From a Donnie Walsh perspective, you have to keep Stephon marbury under wraps for the remainder of his deal.
