    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Usually, teams announce timetables for the return of a player, especially one who has the sixth-highest salary in the NBA (more than $19 million) and who was, until a very public falling out with his coach, the on-court face of the franchise.

    But the Knicks don't appear to want Stephon Marbury back any more than he appears to want to come back. It seems likely that Marbury will sit out the rest of the season and either get traded in the summer or work out a buyout of the $21.9 million owed to him in the final year of his contract. -- Newsday</div>

    Must be nice just throwing out $40M for a guy to sit around and watch basketball courtside.

    It's a Knicks tradition... kind of a hallmark of the Dolan Era
