Not sure if anyone has pointed this out but it just occurred to me that by offloading a point guard Danny may well be in the hunt for another.

Thinkin out loud here..

I think we're activly hunting for a backup gaurd with tony now gone (see raja bell) but im unclear as to what we have to offer other teams that would perk thier intrest.

I do.  When Doc is talking about signing a D-Leaguer, I think the team will give Starbury a shot.

I don't think Marbury will agree to a buyout and I don't think the Knicks will just release him until after the March 1st deadline.

The quote on the front page is suggesting that the buyout should be completed near the deadline, and that Marbury's salary is off the table in trade talks.

They said they hope for a buyout.  I just don't think it will happen.

I believe he will be bought out.

I think it was more for the roster spot than anything but Marbury could still be a viable option

Reading between the lines (actually, it's basically in the lines), it sounds like Marbury in Boston is almost a certainty.

Wow really? I wouldn't say that at all. I agree with Crownsy that the Knicks drag this dispute out. I don't see Marbury arriving soon.

Come on, Marbury is a logical, sensible guy, he'll see that being bought out is his only option, and his decision will be obvious, this is Stephon Marbury we're talking about here.  ;)

I doubt the knicks help starbury out at all, why not wait till march 2nd to cut him and twist that dagger a little deeper?

Right now, Marbury is willing to give back at least $1 million, and drop his union protest.  Under the luxury tax, that means $2 million total, plus the attorney fees in defending the appeal.  It's likely that after March 1, Marbury will just say that he wants all of his money.

So, the question becomes, do the Knicks hate Starbury so much as to throw away $2 million+ in this economy, especially when Dolan owes a fiduciary duty to his shareholders?  I think not.

yeah, Mar getting bought out before March 1 is an almost certainty at this point.

The question may be more whether Danny is willing to roll the dice on him...
