Marbury will return after the ball drops

In response to the bold headlines a quick response from Isiah Thomas was about to generate, the Knicks got a hold of Stephon Marbury and got him to nail down a return date.

 Sort of.

Knicks vice president of public relations Jonathan Supranowitz dialed up Marbury, who indicated he would be on the court again after the new year.

So that ends another controversy.

Kind of.

Marbury won’t be around for Sunday’s game against Chicago, and probably won’t be able to get ready for Sacramento, which comes into MSG on Jan. 2. Perhaps he will be ready two days later in San Antonio when the Knicks begin a three-game road swing that will keep them away from the media crush for a total of five days.

    Marbury’s return is going to serve no purpose other than taking away playing time from the young guys that need it to develop. Nobody is exactly sure what this roster has to offer, if anything. Although we have been losing of late, it’s good to see guys like Nate Robinson getting a good amount of burn and David Lee finally starting. Also, this experience has been good for Jamal Crawford who is playing well right now.

    Marbury’s return will do nothing positive for this team’s development and continue to keep this franchise in neutral at best. If anything, if Marbury comes back playing well, the few extra wins might actually cost us a top 5 pick that we sorely need in helping to right this sinking ship.
