Guard Stephon Marbury is reportedly refusing to accept a buyout from the Knicks, saying that if the team wants him gone they're going to have to pay everything owing on his contract, which is something Garden chairman James Dolan does not want to do, according to a report by Newsday.
Marbury was quoted in Wednesday's New York Post saying, "There won't be no negotiation . . . They're going to give me all my money." This caused the Knicks to step back from their initial plans to release Marbury by the end of the week, as reported by Newsday.
