SG maybe? Although IMO he is a small forward and doesn't have a reliable enough jumper to play the 2. Still, I like this move if Marion can learn to accept a role and has gotten over his alpha dog pissing matches in Phoenix.
I'd be okay with this if they were able to convince Shawn to never speak to the media. Nobody wants to hear the whine anymore.

Jerry Stackhouse's contract in theory.
I would like this move too if Marion turns back the clock 2 years
He had a dip last year in a contract year too... I dunno, I just dunno.
But the motto isss... better than Antoine Wright and such a move pushes Wright out of the rotation/reduces his role greatly.
Except for Suns fans. Everyone I know is ing themselves at the thought of Marion returning to PHX. We'll see who gets him, I have a hunch he's coming back.
After this, S&T Bass for Anthony Randolph.
Then sit back and watching the Larry O'Brien's pile up.
Damp in effect has an expiring too. We still need a scoring 2. Does Josh become the scoring 2 by default? Hmm...
Gortat
Dirk
Marion
Josh
Kidd
6th Man: Terry
Rotation: Bass (resign that !), Whoever we traded Damp for, Ross, Barea
lol man crush
I'd say you're crazy, but this is the same franchise that traded Chris Webber to appease Drunk Coach. It could happen again.
Just don't ever let the Mavs cheerleaders wear Dirk jerseys and not Marion's... or all will break lose![]()
They can't sign and trade Bass, they don't have bird rights to him (I think).
Anthony Randolph is gonna be a stud next year. He and Goran Dragic.
so true.
We have early bird rights on Bass I believe. I think Dallas can offer him close to what the MLE is.
Damn right about that brah.
maybe not. stackhouse was finally relegated to the bench where he belonged. marion might actually take minutes away from a better player (i.e. howard).
not to mention that marion has typically had negative value against the spurs in the postseason (not that teams need to be gearing up specifically for the spurs right now).
Yup, if the Suns traded emire for him when they could have, Dragic 2 Randolph woulda been Stockton to Malone on steroids.
I've never understood what early bird rights are so I'm gonna say you're right on that one.
lol...if Mavs get Marion for pretty much nothing the only thing it assures is continued ownage of the Spurs yet again in the playoffs![]()
You've never seen Shawn Marion play the Spurs.
It would be an interesting line up. I am not a fan of Marion, but the system might fit. It would depend on how effective Josh is at the 2.
You cannot just evaluate Josh at the 2 though. Is what you are possibly losing production wise with Josh moving to the 2 from the 3 offset by what Marion birngs? Long and big 1/2/3 lineup though.
If Josh plays like the slasher he can be, he solves the problem of having a guy who can create his shot from the 2. And I certainly like having that combo of wing defenders.
Yeah, it's so ing painful to give up Jerry Stackhouse for a guy that might actually step foot on the court.
Kidd having resigned is important. Marion needs the 4-5 shots created by the PG in order to keep his intensity level there. If Marion goes awhile without a touch on offense, he starts dogging it on defense.
PS - His shot is horrible to look at.
It can't possibly be only Stackhouse involved in the deal. It may be Josh Howard or Dampier. Either way, not worried bout this if it does happen. Marion's nuts shrivel up everytime he sees the silver & black jerseys across the court.
