Vote: Marbury to the Knicks


Isiah Thomas made his first blockbuster deal today, acquiring Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway from the Suns for Antonio McDyess and several other players and draft picks.

It's a good news-bad news deal for the Knicks. Marbury gives them a chance to make a playoff run, and Hardaway should contribute as well. But the trade also makes a bad salary cap situation worse for the next few years.

We want SportsNation's instant analysis of this trade. Does it work for the Knicks? How about for the Suns? And how do you grade Isiah so far? Vote below.
