Weak class. There’s no other way to put the free agents this year. It changes if Allen Iverson, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, or Shawn Marion opt out. But the Nets don’t have the money for the latter two unless they...

The Name Game (3 Shades of Blue)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Tim Buckley ( Deseret News via TrueHoop ) had a column today about how everyone plays The Name Game with draft prospects. After all, you have to compare them to someone, right? Here is who I think some of the prospects will turn out like: Michael Beasley = Antawn Jamison/Shawn Marion Derrick Rose = Deron Williams/Allen Iverson/Kevin Johnson/Earl Monroe O.J. Mayo = Gilbert Arenas/Steve...

How Does Marion Staying Put Affect the Draft? (KnickerBlogger.net)

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:06:32 GMT

As you may or may not have heard, while Shawn Marion and the Heat have not agreed to a new contract as of yet, Marion has announced that he will not opt out of the final year of his contract (I wouldn’t walk away from $17.8 million at his age, either). With Marion definitely staying put, [...]

Might Marion Stay in Miami? (The FanHouse - Miami Heat)

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:40:00 GMT

Filed under: Heat , NBA Draft , NBA Rumors , Miami The most question-heavy subplot of the Shaq - Shawn Marion trade last February -- beyond what the Hades is Steve Kerr thinking?! -- was whether Matrix would be greeted in Miami with chocolates and flowers, or whether he'd be viewed as a salary cap liberator who would ply his expensive trade elsewhere in 2008-09. That question, for the...

Suns vs. Kings vs. NBA? (AZ Sports Hub)

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:38:58 GMT

Now that Mike D’Antoni has departed for the Big Apple, and with last season’s trade of Shawn Marion for the Big Shaqtus, it appears we have reached the end of the “seven seconds or less” Suns era. It was an exciting and entertaining four-year run, but it was never validated with an NBA title. The [...]

D'Antoni is a rat! (Bright Side Of The Sun)

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:19:05 GMT

Shaw Marion was mad that management didn't seem to like him enough. Shawn Marion welcomed leaving a (marginal) title contender to go to a lottery team in a nicer city (hoping for more money). He got a ton of media shit for that. Mike D'Antoni was mad that management didn't seem to like him enough. Mike D'Antoni welcomed leaving a (marginal) title contender to go to a lottery team...

Filed under: Suns , Western , Phoenix There's so much that's already been said. But just to recap: responding to the Western Conference Arms Race, the Suns gave up Shawn Marion and his potential cap-freeing opt-out for Shaquille O'Neal and his potential cap-killing $20 million contract next year.

Suns’ Spirits, and Hopes, Are Fading (New York Times)

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:11:51 GMT

The Suns tinkered with their chemistry in midseason, shipping their best perimeter defender, Shawn Marion, to Miami to acquire O’Neal's hulking presence in the lane. The trade was not blindly embraced by Suns fans. One man sent General Manager Steve Kerr four death threats by e-mail. “It gave me a couple of days of pause,” Kerr said, adding, “It was just a reminder that there are some...

... at is free agency. They've already got the 7th-highest payroll in the NBA, and between Wade and Shawn Marion , most of of next season's cap space is taken — with only 2/3 of a roster to show for it. The big kicker here is that Marion has a player option for next season. You can make a case for both keeping him, and asking him to leave. The team desperately needs cap space...
