The Knicks could hold onto point guard Stephon Marbury until this February's trading deadline.

Marbury has been the biggest story in New York for a majority of the year despite the fact that he didn't play after Jan. 11.

"I wasn't even playing and it was about me," Marbury said. "I was blamed for losses and I wasn't even playing. That's crazy right there."

The Knicks were expected to cut or release Marbury this summer, but he's made it through training camp and into the preseason.

If he makes it to the opening-night roster, he could very well make it all the way to February's trade deadline.
