Good Riddance

Thankfully, Stephon Marbury's days a New York Knick might be over.
Marbury apparently got into a heated argument with Isiah Thomas on the team plane after he foudn out he would no longer be starting.
According to the Daily News, Thomas delivered the message to Curry first, which set off Marbury.
The argument continued in the team hotel and at some point Marbury asked to leave the team and Thomas gave him permission to do so.
Marbury left Phoenix and flew home to New York. It now seems like he will never return.
While I agree that the Knicks do not have a better option on the court to replace Marbury, I think the team could possibly improve by unlocking value from other players.
And if not, I'd rather win 25 games without Marbury, than 35 games with him.
If the team's slide continues, maybe Thomas will be the next to go and then the healing can begin.
