    I have seen a reference to Ste-phoney Marbury getting bought out by NYK at season's end. If that occurs who goes out and signs him?

    My only 'guess' is Minny. (I'd love to see him with Jerry Sloan :D )

    Thoughts anyone?

    My god, Isiah would be an even worse GM than I thought if he did that. His salary would continue to count against the cap regardless with no way of erasing it. At least move him for some overpaid guys in exchange, like Ratliff or Adoynal Foyle+Fisher...

    I agree. I know Isiah is a dumbass but even i dont think he could be that damn dumb. Im sure there's plenty of teams out there who would take a chance on starbury & we all know Isiah will take a chance on anyone.

    Isiah thinks player's contracts are like baseball cards. You buy them all and hold on to them hoping they will go up in value. Hell, ditch the player but hold on to the contract no matter what.

    He is investing.

    I would love to be playing with other people's millions of dollars with ABSOLUTELY NO ACCOUNTIBILTY WHAT SO EVER!!!

    The statement was actually made by Dolan.

    If they cut him, it will go down in history and subject the Knicks to even more ridicule. Yes, his salary stays on their books & salary cap and they have to pay him.
