Marbury Mystery

There aren't a whole lot of details, but Stephon Marbury is not playing with the Knicks tonight and has left the team in Phoenix this morning. The reason is unknown, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions like the rest of the media. There are already reports that he has left the team for good and might become a free agent. We don't know why he left though. It could be a legitimate reason. It could be a private family matter. Here's what we DO know... Isaiah Thomas says that he wants Marbury back with the team, it's a private team matter and Marbury had permission to leave. So I think it's a non-issue until we get more info. It would be devastating for the Knicks to lose him though... just when they started putting together a good team. As always, I wish the Knicks the worst, but just because I don't like what Thomas has done with the team over the past few years. I enjoy watching Marbury though. I think he plays with heart every night and is a great all around player. I hope everything is OK with him.
