    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Knicks never recovered from trading Patrick Ewing one year before his contract expired, and Stephon Marbury believes the club would be wise to not allow history to repeat itself.
    Just minutes after Isiah Thomas revealed that he doesn't want to add to the Knicks' payroll, Marbury said that keeping him on the roster through next season makes financial sense. Marbury's contract expires after next season.

    "If I was the GM, and my contract ended next year, if I'm trying to do salary, I would go off the cap next year. That's just logic," Marbury said. -- New York Daily News</div>

    Seems the man is just content to finish it out in NY close to his family?

    Marbury is destined to take over after Isiah is relieved of his duties. Stephon for GM!
