Breaking: Knicks Activating Marbury- More Trades to Follow?

By Tommy Dee on Nov 21, 2008, 1:35 pm

TKB has learned that the Knicks are activating Stephon Marbury for tonight’s game in Milwaukee.

This is significant for a bevy of reasons:

Since Marbury has been banished, this decision is not because they’ve made room for him because of the Crawford deal.

Sources tell us that the team will activate Marbury because another trade is in the works so that the team can dress 8 players- an NBA rule.

As we’ve been reporting all morning the team is discussing a deal with the Clippers.

Stay tuned.

    What about Eddy Curry? Is he playing tonight? I know that he was with a knee injury, but I’m not sure who’s going to be the starting center. Will be Malik Rose?

    To the Clippers

    would be like this:

    Knicks: Tim Thomas, Cuttino Mobley and Al Harrington
    Clippers: Zach Randolph and Mardy Colins
    Warriors: Jamal Crawford

    Question: if they only activate marbury to get to the min of 8 active players, how many players does that mean would have to get shipped out?

    12 players are active per game, right? There are 15 on the roster. Harrington’s spot will be unused. gallo, curry and james inactive? That leaves at least three players to be traded according to my calculation (possibly more if curry included). What are the otghe possibilities?
