NBA Player's Association attorney Hal Biagas is expected to resume Stephon Marbury buyout talks with Knicks president Donnie Walsh tomorrow or Thursday, with a possibility of a formal proposal coming by week's end, according to a person familiar with the situation. The exiled Marbury, who has yet to play this season, flew with the team to Boston yesterday, but that could be his last road trip as a Knick. Biagas, Marbury and Walsh met last Thursday in Westchester to begin divorce proceedings. According to the individual, Walsh told Biagas and Marbury that he'll need one week to think about matters, explore any potential trades and consult with Knicks owner James Dolan. Among the teams figuring to get involved are Miami, Boston, the Clippers and Dallas.

Same news everyday w/ this guy.

I grow tired of this, so imagine how tired Donnie and Mike must be? Oh wait, they could end the damn problem just by allowing Dolan to buy him out.

Genius!

If youre desperate to pickup Starbury as your PG then I am pretty sure youre in dead last in your league. I wish I had some suckers like you in my league because I would never have to worry about losing in head to head weeks against you.

I think his high school team is the only team interested.... but you never know.

I think I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GUY! I have discovered a new illness among professional athletes, its called "Adult Onset Mild Retardation". You see Stephon Marbury was once a smart guy, he even once had the grades to get into Georgia Tech and play ball. Then something happened when he signed his first big contract, all of them crazy groupies started throwing themselves at him and he finally caught a brain eating amoeba std unfortunately and its been downhill ever since. Just kidding, hope he can turn this around. He does have a Starbury tattoo on his head though.

He will get picked up by sone of these teams and he will play. He'll scorched the Knicks every time they meet.

If you trade him to a contender, he's a poison.
If to a rebuilding team, he's a bad influence.

Wherever he goes he's a negative influence. Where should he go? ...Go to Europe where they probably don't care as long as he contributes.

Not sure if he would be a poison - only because he's
really never been on a 'contending' team...
- he's always been the best player (other than year one with kg)
on a mediocre team...

I am not defending him- and I agree he's a negative influence-
but we simply don't know how he'll react to being on a good team
especially if he's not the #1 option.

I wish they would stop calling it that. This has gone on far to long it needs to end.

November 18, 2008  01:56 PM ET

Boston is interested in Marbury??? Nothing would irritate me more than to see Marybury get ring, via Boston!

November 18, 2008  01:59 PM ET

Let Jerry Sloan straighten him out. Back up to Williams not a bad idea.

November 18, 2008  03:48 PM ET

its kinda of hard to agree with you starbury...lol. You and your comrads chase off one of the best coaches in this era. larry brown....larry has won at the college level and the pro level and you my friend opted to leave G-Tech with no national championship and have shown NY no championship, but a bill courtesy of your contract. the last great thing that you have done in uniform is when you hit the shot in the allstar game and the heart wrenching statement, which I think where real, durin Katrina. Starbury exist like starburst around a fat kid....iits ate up, and so are you. If you had something on resume besides being well dress...well bling..by the way there nothing wrong with that....but you need to deserve it...you my friennd (don't deserve it). My name is jamie C and I endorse this message

Marbury needs to retire... he is terrible. hasn't played a good game in years, i'm sorry, but its time to hang it up. It was a good run while it lasted

You maybe right but Steph should at least be 21.9 mills richer. Steph PLEASE don't take a buyout!!!

Don't worry, reportedly Steph wants all of that 21.9 million. He won't accept a buy out that leaves even a cent behind which is important considering he has talked about buying a private jet.

Anyway, I just want this thing to go away so that the Knicks can focus on another player who isn't playing either: Eddy Curry. It would be kind of funny if E.C. started complaining about his benching.

This situation is bad for the City and bad for the NBA as a whole. Does a big name STAR like LeBron, Kobe, or Melo, D-Wade want to play in such a joke oranization?

Hell no NY can write themselves out of the LbJ race they will have too much money tied up in other undeserving players. D-Wade can probably still be lured but Lebron wants rings. Well w/that being said. Do you think Lebron would take a pay cut to get on a contending squad or start over w/an rebuilding franchise?
