Finally, the Knicks are able to cure their “cancer” and move on, buying out Stephon Marbury’s   contract and releasing him to the Celtics. While details on how much the buyout cost the Knicks is unclear, one thing is clear; the Knicks probably saved themselves some money (since the once ‘all-star’ never played) and can finally move on without worrying about the next stunt he had planned.

On to the real question: Was this a good idea for the NBA champions? Will ‘Starbury’ help or hinder the C’s in their quest for glory once more? Many people are divided on this issue and only time will tell. Some believe he will act as a cancer on the team, just like he did with the Suns and Knicks. Others believe KG, Pierce, and Allen won’t let that happen and that he will fit right in. How do you feel about this new acquisition?
