Heat Dangling Marion For Elite Point Guard?
Jul 06, 2008 12:53 PM EST

With point guards getting scooped up via free agency, it is becoming more and more likely that the Heat will have to deal Shawn Marion if they want an elite playmaker, according to HoopsWorld.

Targets could include Andre Miller, Kirk Hinrich or Monta Ellis.

However, they might avoid trading him to a conference foe like the 76ers or Bulls because it could prevent them from making the postseason.

Monta Ellis, elite point guard?

I'm not sure what a 31 YO undersized PF on an expiring contract will bring back in return.

The most realistic thing they could get would be Stephon Marbury.

Hmm, and a reunion with Mike No D?

Since when did Monta Ellis beome a playmaker? He's a shoot first pass second undersized sg, just like D Wade (but nowhere near as good).

Keep Marion. Riley just wants to trade trade trade.
