OT: Steph Fueled Van Horn Trade
Quote:
There's been speculation Marbury fueled the Keith Van Horn trade because of a past feud with Van Horn when they played for the Nets. But Marbury denied it vehemently after last February's trade, and that seemed believable because of how well Van Horn and Marbury were playing last winter.
A new book on Sebastian Telfair, "The Jump" contains a section in which Marbury supposedly told Telfair's brother that he had strong input in the trade.
Marbury's Cousin, Danny Turner, a Lincoln High assistant coach, said in the book that Marbury admitted to him "in two different phone calls that he had pushed Isiah [Thomas] to make the Van Horn trade."
"Stephon told me that," Turner said. "He said, 'Yo, I got Van Horn.' "
Telfair's father, Otis, was quoted in the book: "And that was the worst thing the Knicks did. Everybody knows Stephon was involved in that. I told you all, when Stephon came to the Knicks. Didn't I say Van Horn was on his way out?"

Didn't Kenyon Martin call out Van Horn signaling Keith's exit? What's the difference? Everyone seems to always want him gone. It's not like Milwaukee isn't trying to trade the guy now.

KMart and Kidd know what they did, they did it in public, while Marbury is doing it in private and then lying about it.
No difference really, it just shows character a bit.

After watching Thorn's moves for a few years, I highly doubt in retrospect, that Kenyon's comments had that much to do with moving KVH. Thorn thought he needed to improve the Center position to compete with Shaq and he wanted to move RJ into the starting lineup.
But yes, it does seem like nobody loves KVH, however, I am quite certain that there are still a few shrines dedicated to him throughout NJ.

He and KMart are my favorite former Nets.

Isiah Thomas stood in the middle of the Knicks locker room following a victory over Cleveland and mediated between feuding players Stephon Marbury and Kurt Thomas.
Thomas said, "I'm not trading you and I'm not trading you, so what do you want me to do?"
"Just move out of the way so I can kick his butt," K. Thomas asked.
