Marbury Tempest II

Alan Hahn has it wrong on his blog and most of the New York Knicks beat writers are equally out of touch. Marbury does not lose trade value sitting on the bench. Not at all.

His true value is as an expiring contract but secondly as a man possessed to win in a contract year. There is no doubt he is done with the Knicks but the Vegan Fish Tacos blog provides a strong clue as to one destination that Marbury might eventually find himself in. That is, Dallas.

Where Jason Kidd goes, so goes frustration.

He mangaged 7 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals, but the Mavericks still lost to the Rockets.

Who among us does not believe that this will be a recurring theme?


Jason Kidd is leading the Mavericks nowhere and that's obvious to many people. He, like Marbury, needs to be relocated. Marbury might thrive in Dallas and finally get a chance at a ring. Kidd is a veteran who is not Marbury and can contribute here in a system which will increase his resale value.

The clock has been ticking in Dallas and Mark Cuban is not one who will sit tight with Kidd. The championship expiration date on the Mavs is rusting. If any team is in a must-win-now situation it is Dallas.

Can the Knicks help?

Let's examine a broader trade that rids both teams of undesired baggage and maybe sets up Dallas to go long into the playoffs.

Would Dallas consider a Kidd, Dampier, and rights to Shan Foster for Marbury, Curry, and Mardy Collins swap?

Infusing Marbury into the Dallas line up might be juice Dallas needs to finally realize their dream. Curry complements Diop and is no better or worse than Dampier. Collins gives the Mavs a nice future piece.

The rights to Shan Foster, Who is currently in Europe gives D'Antoni a sharpshooter who can arrive next year and gives the Knicks that extra roster spot to bring Ewing back onboard.

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
