Marbury Says He Wants To Stay In NY <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It is a near certainty that Marbury will be gone by the time the Knicks open training camp in October. Marbury will not dismiss the possibility. But there he was Friday evening, looking slim, fit and cheery as he skipped off the team bus at a local high school gym. Marbury said he had already conveyed to the new Knicks coach, Mike D’Antoni, that he wanted to remain in New York, his hometown. Yet Marbury acknowledged the uncertainty that comes with a new coach and a new team president (Donnie Walsh). “I’ve expressed everything that I could possibly say,” said Marbury, who also sported a new tattoo — a replica of his Starbury shoe logo — on the left side of his head. “I mean, I love New York, I want to play basketball here. But I understand it’s a business. And in this business, things happen. I don’t take it personal. I just continue to do what I do.”</div>
