Peter Vecsey is reporting/fabricating that the Knicks are already shopping Stephon Marbury, which was kind of assumed, but nobody would come out and say. Of course, nobody is really coming out and saying it officially, but it’s at least it’s finally in print as an unsourced rumor. We love unsourced rumors.
Marbury may not be the first expulsion but he’s positively the primary priority. He’s also the thorniest and most challenging, especially if there’s any intention of recouping a resemblance of star power.
In reality, the process began a couple weeks ago when feelers were put out there. Certain teams (I can’t get more specific without risking sources) with explicit needs were notified by Thomas and Brown they wouldn’t be averse to moving him.
We don’t know who would take on the PG – as Vecsey notes in his wordy article, the guy loses everywhere he goes. What’s really a shame is that the perfect person to try to deal Steph to is Knicks GM Isiah Thomas. Can the Knicks make a trade with themselves?
What about Peter Vecsey’s beard? We’ve always found it fascinating, as it’s one of those that goes right up to the edges of his mouth on all sides, although currently he has it kind of half-shaved or something. You can stare awkwardly at him on NBATV.
