Not to defend Marbury's actions, but this is actually a plausible
explaination for Marbury's disappearance, and his subsequent re-insertion
into the lineup.  If Thomas says to Marbs, "you're fired, go home," it
seems like a reasonable thing to comply.  If subsequently it turns out
that Isiah didn't in fact have the power to buy Marbury out, since as we
speculated, he appeared to be handcuffed last season, it makes sense that
Marbury be allowed to rejoin the team.

Marbury's clearly a nutcase and a loser, but I don't find it difficult to
believe that the November fiasco was entirely due to the incompetance and
mismanagement of Isiah Thomas.
