The saga that is Marbury versus the Knicks, could come to an end this week with Walsh and Marbury set to meet today or tomorrow. D’Antoni has kept him on the bench since the beginning of the season and has now moved Marbury to the inactive roster. If the Knicks decide to waive Marbury this week, his Facebook profile will read “Stephon Marbury is Paid in Full” or Stephon Marbury is “Rich, Biatch” because the Knicks will have to pay him the $21.9 million he is owed this year.
“When asked if he could envision Marbury being inactive for the entire 82-game season, Walsh replied, “No, and that’s why I’m saying I’ve got to get involved in this.”
Walsh, who said D’Antoni has full autonomy over who plays, will meet with his coach today to begin the process of ending the Marbury saga”
