Stephon Marbury plans to stick with the NBA Players Association as his representation when free agency begins next month rather than hire an agent.

NBAPA deputy counsel Hal Biagas worked out a buyout with the Knicks on the final year of Marbury’s contract, as the former All-Star did not have an agent.

Marbury signed with the Celtics for $1.3 million for the remainder of the season and did not have to pay the NBAPA commission.

Marbury is expected to stick with Biagas.

“The best thing about the NBAPA is that they work for you for free,’’ said Marbury via e-mail. “When you have a team that negotiates the Collective Bargaining Agreement for all the players representing you, there is strength in numbers.’’
