Hooped Up

Do not expect New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury to get traded to the Cavaliers any time soon. At least not while LeBron James is on the team.

“I don’t know him that well,” James said of Marbury. “But I couldn’t have a guy like that on my team.”

Marbury made headlines again and not because of his affordable Starbury One sneakers. Marbury left the Knicks on Tuesday. According to several reports out of New York, Marbury is upset because coach Isiah Thomas threatened to cut his minutes. Also, the New York Daily News reported Marbury threatened to talk about “Thomas’ secrets.”
