Could Marbury Finally Be Gone?

Reports are saying it is possible the Knicks guard could be headed to Greece. The Greek club Olympiacos spoke with the Knicks earlier in the day about a possible move to get Marbury to play across the Atlantic. The team lost star Josh Childress to surgery for a sports hernia and are looking for a replacement.

The Knicks need to get this move done and get him out of town. He's not distracting the team because they've been playing well as of late, and he's been nowhere in sight. However, it is ridiculous that the team is paying him close to $21 million to not come anywhere near the team. A buy-out needs to happen and he needs to get as far away as possible. Therefore, his name and stories about him will not be the daily ritual.

Sticking with the Knicks, I'm impressed with their play as of late. With their 114-109 win over the Suns on Wednesday, they hit the half-way mark with a record of 17-24, just two games behind the Nets for the 8th spot in the East. While it's not amazing, you have to notice the improvement. They're just six wins shy of last season's final total with 41 games left to play. Is it safe to say they'll improve on last year's record?

My other question is: Does David Lee deserve to be an All-Star? If you ask me, I say yes. The guy is averaging over 15 points and 11 rebounds a game and has 30 double-doubles this season. Only Dwight Howard has more. Not to mention, he just outdueled Shaq at the Garden, with a 25-point, 16-rebound performance. Those are all-star numbers folks! He puts bodies in the seats at Madison Square Garden and ignites the team with his energy night-in and night-out. He has my vote!

Let me know what you think!
