Marbury A Chance To Be Bought Out?
"It's the same story every year," says one veteran Knick. "He's doing this, he's doing that, he's running hills, he's lifting weights. And then on the first day of training camp he can't even finish some of the drills." Marbury, who is entering the final year of his lucrative contract, may not play out the season with the Knicks. According to the report, if President Donnie Walsh acquires a point guard, Marbury likely will be released, according to a league source. David Lee, who is looking for a contract extension, seems the most likely candidate to be dealt for a point guard, with Raymond Felton from Charlotte and Steve Blake from Portland possible options.

"I'm hearing the Knicks could be working on a deal with the Charlotte Bobcats to acquire point guard Raymond Felton for Lee," Frank Isola writes in his blog. The Bobcats chose Texas point guard D.J. Augustin with the ninth pick. Augustin's game is consistent with Larry Brown's blueprint for an orchestrating point guard. When Mike D’Antoni coached the Phoenix Suns, he reportedly did not want Lee because of the forward's lack of shooting ability. Isola also reports that the Knicks had spoken to the Memphis Grizzlies about trading Lee and Malik Rose for the fifth pick.

According to the Chicago Tribune, former Bobcats' coach Bernie Bickerstaff is believed to be close to finalizing a deal to become an assistant on Vinny Del Negro's staff in Chicago.
