Source (nba.com) (PG - ny) | 0 comments.

Update: Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh will meet with Marbury and an attorney with the Players' Association on Monday in an effort to reach a resolution to Marbury's career with the Knicks, the New York Post reports.

Analysis: Walsh will be looking to negotiate a buyout of Marbury's contract, with no intent to coax Marbury back to the Knicks. "It doesn't look good," Walsh added. "The situation has spiraled down. There'll be options out there. We've gone down a long road and have to direct ourselves to where we are. I think everyone came in with good intentions. It hasn't worked out. We have to acknowledge that."

Update: Marbury has been suspended without pay for Saturday's game against the Warriors, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis: The Knicks have alleged that Marbury refused to play in Wednesday's loss to Detroit, an allegation that Marbury has denied. "If you say I got to play, I'm going to play," Marbury said. "If he said I have to play, guess what, I'm going to get on the court and play, period. If I refuse to play, I'm getting suspended. I never told him I'm not going to play. Those words never came out of my mouth. That's insubordination." If the team's penalty sticks, he'll lose nearly $200,000 in salary, although Marbury plans to fight the fine.

The AP reports that Stephon Marbury said he does not trust coach Mike DAntoni and has begged Knicks management for his release. New Yorks roster has been trimmed by trades and injuries over the last week, but despite the depleted lineup, Marbury has refused to play. According to the report, Marbury plans on meeting with Walsh Friday. He also believes DAntoni told the team about his removal from the active roster at the beginning of the campaign without telling Marbury. Marbury also said he never refused to play, knowing that such a move could be grounds for suspension, thus docking his pay.Marbury desperately wants the Knicks to release him, but the Knicks seem reluctant to do so, knowing that he will not be claimed off of waivers. This would mean the Marbury would still be paid nearly all of his $22 million that he is due this season and still be able to join another team as a free agent.

Analysis: It's unclear if Marbury will play, as the only reason he's suiting up is so that the Knicks have the league mandated eight players available. Since the players acquired by the Knicks in a flurry of moves on Friday likely won't be available until Tuesday's game, Marbury will likely be forced to dress again for Saturday's game.

Update: Marbury met with Knicks president Donnie Walsh on Thursday to discuss a buyout of Marbury's contract, according to two sources, the New York Post reports.

Analysis: According to a team source, the Marbury-Knicks breakup could become official within a week. It is reported that Marbury asked permission to talk with other teams, with Walsh expected to grant that wish. The biggest issue to resolve is how much of a buyout Marbury receives, as he's on record as saying he wants "every penny" of the $21.9 million due him. The Knicks may stipulate that he doesn't sign with an Eastern Conference team. The club could use the available roster spot with news that Danillo Gallinari (back) may not play this season.
