Knicks fly to Arizona on plane. Isiah demotes Marbury on plane. Marbury fights Isiah on plane, threatens to blackmail him (with…?). Plane lands. Marbury flies back to New York. Isiah claims Marbury is AWOL. Marbury claims he is absent with permission. Isiah deliberately clarifies nothing. Knicks start Mardy Collins. Collins injures ankle. Knicks lose. Marbury flies back to New York. Marbury, Isiah clarify nothing about what happen. Knicks fine Marbury for $180,000. Isiah holds team vote, pledging that if any of his teammates voted for Marbury being suspended, he’d suspend him. Several teammates vote in favor of suspension. Marbury plays the next night without suspension anyway, coming off the bench behind… Fred Jones. Fred Jones is awesome. Knicks lose. Marbury is permanently demoted. Isiah and Marbury call uneasy truce. All this while Zach Randolph misses every other game to mourn his grandma’s loss, presumably as only Zach Randolph can, and names like “Jared Jeffries” become frighteningly relevant and “Renaldo Balkman,” less so.
Under ten games in. My head hurts. But the comments to this are awesome.
