Stephon Marbury to be a Knick <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Isiah Thomas has upgraded the Knicks point guard position in a way that New Yorkers have only dreamed about: Brooklyn-born Stephon Marbury is returning home. A league source told the Daily News that the Knicks were prepared to announce a blockbuster deal that would bring Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway from Phoenix to the Knicks for Antonio McDyess, Charlie Ward, Howard Eisley and the rights to former second round pick Milos Vujanic.</div> Source: http://www.nydailynews.com/front/breaking_...4p-133927c.html
Huh? McDyess? Why? What about Stoudemire? Just freeing up cap space for next year in Phoenix? Too many questions - this one is completely mind boggling!!! If this does happen, Isiah has just pulled off one the most amazing trades in the history of the league!
What an amazing deal. Isiah! Isiah! Isiah! Is there any reason why the NBA would decline this deal, other than not being fair. This proves that the Suns are just gonna tank this year.
my god what an awesome trade for u knicks fans. Isiah said he was gonna fix things and u see he's already doin thangs right. I am glad we play u guys tomorrow night and not next week, by then these guys will have jelled into your lineup and the knicks will be tough. my goodness.
Hot damn. I never would have expected this to happen, especially with Starbury coming off of his 44 and 17/10 assist performances. I can't believe it.
theres more to this incredible deal, <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> New York acquires Marbury, Penny Hardaway, and Cezary Trybanski from Phoenix for Antonio McDyess, Howard Eisley, Charlie Ward, Maciej Lampe, the rights to Milos Vujanic, and cash.</div> so its knicks trade dice,ward,eiesly,lampe, rights to milos 2004 1st , conditional future 1st pick, and cash suns trade, marbury,penny,Trybanski this makes the knicks top 5 in the east and a huge contender for the east(on paper) we all know how marburry did in NJ, basicly an extention of NY
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Vintage:</div><div class="quote_post">Its a bit surprising- in THAT deal was done. Overall, I am not too shocked that Marbury was traded.</div> Same here Damn this is the first major trade for Isiah Thomas, and it is a huge acquisition for the Knicks. Many things to say, but Marbury moving is a lot... I thought he was gonna be there for a while but I no anymore. I like this trade for the Knicks, gives them a scoring PG to go with Allan Houston. Also, Penny comin off the bench for Houston isn't a bad idea either... Wonder how Marbury will look in a Knicks uniform... I always thought it was gonna be the big three...Marion-Marbury-Amare. I guess change had to come since they should be doin better. Great trade for the Knicks, look out for them to be a good team in the east. Van Horn-Houston-Marbury
Iam not a knick fan but they have the sickest backcourt in the East now. Can you just imagine Allan Houston knocking down all those jumpshots off of Stephs penetration. And steph will get a chance to play alot of brcause they have Frank Williams, Moochie,& penny who can all handle the point. But the person who going to be affected in a negative way is Van Horn, he had his worst carreer years playing with Steph.And when steph got traded for J.kidd, Van Horn let it be well known in the NY news papers that he hated playing with steph.because he never passed the rock in key situations.Its going to be interesting to see their relationship on the knicks. But the Coney island kid is going to be an instant favorite at the worlds most famous arena. I dont know how long this deal was in the works but it seems like everytime the Knicks get embrassed, Thomas makes a move. And they got worked last night by the Nets in the 4th quarter.
that's a great deal for NY Knicks, just bad that they had to make it just before the game against Cavs Props to Isiah Thomas for this one!
The Knicks did give up a lot, but it's still a great move. If this truly is Marbury's last NBA stop, Isiah has just made an incredible move for this franchise. Penny is also still a decent player, he'll fit in well with the Knicks. New York needed help right now, and they just acquired one of the top three PG's in the L. If Isiah keeps this up, he's going to get his own statue in front of MSG.

Cause I dont see the Knicks making the playoffs this year but looking at players that are projected lottery picks. That might not be that much.
Marbury proved a few years back that he could not play well so close to home when he played for the Nets. Hopefully it will be different. This is going to bring Knicks Basketball back to life everybody and their mother knows Marbury in that area but hopefully he will perform better under more presure than he has endured in his career.
I will be shocked if Knicks don't make the playoffs.Isiah is a winner..always has been.Losing games like Knicks have over the years will not cut it...So him making this move and giving up draft picks is no surprise.This is what he is about.He is banking on now and not the future.
