Donnie Walsh is hoping to put an end to the Stephon Marbury saga as soon as Monday, when the Knicks meet with the outcast guard to try to come to an agreement on a severance, the New York Post is reporting.

Walsh said he's "disappointed" in Marbury, called his situation a "distraction" and said he's aiming to reach a resolution when he meets with the embattled player and Players' Association attorney Hal Biagas tomorrow.

Asked if there would be finality tomorrow, Walsh said, "I can't predict that, but that's what I am hoping. That's what I'm going into the meeting for."

"It doesn't look good," Walsh added. "The situation has spiraled down. There'll be options out there. We've gone down a long road and have to direct ourselves to where we are. I think everyone came in with good intentions. It hasn't worked out. We have to acknowledge that."
