Pierce: Knicks must dump Marbury
Paul Pierce knows all about monumental turnarounds. The year before they won the NBA title, the Celtics won just 24 games. So the NBA Finals MVP knows one move that would help the Knicks rebuild from the rubble of the Isiah Thomas Era - dump Stephon Marbury. "He makes the biggest contract and he's one of the oldest players on the team," Pierce said yesterday while signing collectibles at Steiner Sports offices in New Rochelle. "That doesn't really fit into a rebuilding plan, just to be honest. "I'd try to trade him or buy him out at this point," added Pierce, who still believes Marbury can be a starting point guard in the NBA. "I just think he needs a fresh start somewhere else. Marbury needs to be on a veteran team where he fits into what they're trying to do a little bit more."

Why would a player from the Celtics (your arch enemy other than the lakers) be giving advise on how to make the Knicks team more competitive? Perhaps he's actually attempting reverse psychology!

Who knew that all that wasted time with the Isiah mess, all those bad contracts, the Walsh saga was all so not needed.
If only owner Dolan had just simply called Paul Pierce on his cell phone a plan could have been formulated, put in place and the Knicks would be back on top today.....

"Marbury needs to be on a veteran team where he fits into what they're trying to do a little bit more."
Like maybe somewhere in the European league. Marbury would never come off the bench, and there's no way anyone would consider giving him the reigns to run their offense. The Knicks should just buy him out and let him fade into oblivion.

Ghost, I get what your saying completely... but common... Isiah was terrible in his job with the Pacers, and still he chased him, and paid out his ACE to get him in NY... The Knicks need to stop worrying about Hasbeenbary and all that and get to the root of the proble. Fire the entire front office, and even if he just walks outside and flags down the first short bus he sees, and builds the office with them it be a great start

Paul just because you won the Finals doesn't mean you have to get all high and mighty and tell the Knicks what to do ... they kind of already know.

Paul has a point. The homecoming has been a failure and the second he gets out of New York, the better off it would be for him and the Knicks.

Or the Knicks could go out and buy a ring like the Celtics did...
remember those lean years, Mr. Pierce, when you wanted to get the heck out of Beantown?

that's not buying a championship.... just because u get players doesn't guarantee a ring (houston had dream, drexler, and barkley, then dream, pippen, and barkley).... you still have to play the game, and boston isn't one of the best championship teams in recent memory (atlanta and cleveland took them to 7) and im a laker fan sayin this

What Paul Pierce was really saying "Marbury needs a fresh start on a veteran team, like the Celtics, so that we can not worry about having to play Sam Cassell against someone like Rodney Stuckey ever again."
