New York Mag's Hugo Lindgren compares Stephon Marbury to a bank's trouble asset:
"But like most toxic assets on bank balance sheets today, Marbury was not completely worthless. He was just worth a lot less than his assigned value (a.k.a. contract). Other teams would take him, just like somebody will eventually move into those lonely desert homes, but only at a steep discount. The question, as it is with everything these days, was how steep."
Marbury's contract: $21 million per year
