If the Knicks are going to keep Marbury, buy him out or trade him which is unlikely at this point; they need to decide something regarding the Marbury saga heading into training camp.
“Stephon Marbury told The Post yesterday if the club already has decided to waive him before the season opener, team president Donnie Walsh should do it now and not prolong the saga. Marbury wants to stay with the Knicks, but doesn’t want to be a lame duck when the Knicks kick off training camp in Saratoga Springs. Sources said yesterday, however, Walsh is giving Marbury a legitimate chance to stick with the team. Owner James Dolan may be unwilling to eat $21.9 million until he sees him in action. One conspiracy theory is Walsh and Mike D’Antoni are waiting so Marbury would have less of a chance to adjust to a new team, which could turn out to be conference rival Miami. The Knicks’ season opener is against the Heat Oct. 29 at the Garden.”
