Marbury, who has no agent, was joined by Players Association attorney Hal Biagas.

The ball is now rolling for a Marbury-Knick divorce. A team source said an official breakup could happen in one week.

According to a source, Marbury asked Walsh for permission to talk with other clubs, and Walsh is expected to grant that wish soon. Walsh may request that Marbury agree not to sign with an Eastern Conference team.

Marbury confirmed the meeting before the Knicks faced the Oklahoma City Thunder, but provided no details.

"There's nothing going on, man," Marbury told The Associated Press. "There's nothing going on but a humbling experience. That's it, the only thing that's going on here in the New York Knicks' organization as far as me."

Marbury gave the "nothing going on" response seven times, then went out to the court to warm up. After that, he changed out of his uniform, not needing it because he was inactive for the eighth straight game.

It was Marbury's eighth straight "inactive" after a DNP in the opener. Walsh has refused to waive Marbury, though coach Mike D'Antoni will not use him.

It's a decision the coach can start to justify considering the Knicks' successful 5-3 start following their 132-point explosion in Memphis on Wednesday.
