Basketball - Stephon Marbury Starbury is big trouble 

Stephon Marbury went to New York in a trade with his enormous contract intact.

If Larry Brown had been coaching the Knicks at the time, there's no way Marbury wouldn't have rescinded a trade. Tension between Marbury and Brown is at an all-time high now that #3 has decided to go back to "Starbury". Now what?

Trading Marbury is absolutely not an option. His 3yr $57 million contract is one of the highest in the NBA and to this point he has done little to deserve it. Marbury has never gone farther than the first round of the playoffs and the teams he played for immediately got better as soon as he left.

Marbury is a very talented player he got where he is through is excellent dribbling and skills. But he, like his cousin Sebastian Telfair, has not adapted his game to play in the NBA. Stephon is averaging a career-low in assists and rarely runs the offense. In the past, a bright spot to his game was that he rarely veered from the offense to take his own bad shot (he just didn't run the offense). However with "Starbury" emerging who knows what'll happen.

Also let's keep in mind that an alter ego to an already disruptive superstar could mean real chaos, like if Jekyl had his own Jekyl. If he really plans to take bad shots and take control and be a one-man team then he's obviously pleading for a trade. Not once has Isiah or Larry decided to tell the troubled player to shut up and play. On the contrary, they've met their demands almost 100% of the time. If somehow Marbury is to go then an even more troubled player like Latrell Sprewell would have to come in.

The worst part of this Marbury/Brown feud is that Marbury made these complaints when they won two games in a row. If winning brings out the worst in a player then it certainly says something about that player. Only Tracy McGrady has failed to do more with more money than Stephon. A team that's either losing or rebuilding is a bad fit for Marbury, who since day 1 has never turned his game around. Asking him to pass is out of the question as is sharing the PG spot with three other players.

If there's one person to feel sorry for in this ordeal it is Nate Robinson, who shouldn't be less than a backup for them and should get an increase of minutes instead of a decrease. But behind Francis, Crawford and "Starbury" it isn't happening.
