    Is there anything anyone can think of that we could offer Phoenix for Marion? Personally, I would trade anyone on this team but Cat and Steve for the guy.

    It really just cant happen. Maybe a 3-way that sends Francis or Olajuwon and Mobley to a certain team, then they send say McGrady, Odom, or Brand+1-3pick in draft to Phoenix. There is almost no reason to debate the scenario though, its out of the question.

    Marion is a true workhorse, and has improved every aspect of his game from his rookie year. What a monster on the boards, and he is so quick.....and a quick leaper too.

    I don't think Phoenix will let go of that gem, but stranger things have happened.

    It's gonna take Cuttino+others to get Marion.

    Cuttino is a 2, Marion is a 2/3/4 that rebounds, scores, passes, and rebounds some more.

    Marion is 10X better than Mobley...

    He's a tremendous defender and is awesome at weak side shot blocking and rotating...

    Mobley is a decent go-to guy, but you can find 6-3 SG's who shoot 44% anywhere...

    You can't find a 11 rebound per night SF like Marion anywhere...

    This...is going to be...hard to type!!

    I have become a huge fan of Marion over the past 2 seasons. The Suns would be INSANE to trade him or Kidd, they form a great nucleus.

    But if the Suns....(have to collect myself)...wanted to offer Marion.....


    ....for Cuttino....

    ......

    I would vote....

    ....

    NO, for the sake of team chemistry.

    (There, I wrote it!)

    I would drive Cuttino to the airport if we could pry Marion away from Phoenix, and I live in Austin.
