What's the over/under on how many pages this thread goes?

what's the over/under on if anything even REMOTELY new is said? I'm taking the under, whatever it is.

 

[hsandhu]

my guess is Shawn Marion, once again, ends up being a HUGE reason the Suns don't win a chip (which is all but guaranteed should this deal go thru).

face it Shawn - THE SUNS DON'T LIKE YOU AS MUCH AS YOU WANT THEM TO - GO SOMEWHERE WHERE A TEAM DOES YOU MAROON!

We can all see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's either salvation or a train coming right at us, knowing our history expect the worst.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Can the Celtics be this stupid??

 

[SunsTzu]

What in the world are the Celtics thinking????

That a team built around Pierce/Marion/Jefferson could make noise in the east while they try to develop their other youngsters?

 

[PetryJr]

Marion, you're going to be a STAR in Boston. Pierce wants a star there and Ainge is trying to acquire you. See? That's RECOGNITION, something you've been looking for your entire career! It's an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't waste it!

 

[RingtheBell]

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE MARION!!! NOBODY LIKES YOU!


*turns his back and cries*

As long as there is not a coin flip then we're going to be ok. Just believe baby....Just believe!!!!

believe me, I don't think there's a snow-balls chance in hell this ends up happening. Marion's not smart enough to do the right thing (you know, go somewhere he's appreciated, can be more of the man and get paid).

 

[hsandhu]

Who else is nervous anytime they refresh the thread or see espn.com that they might see Marion says no?

 

[82CardsGrad]

That a team built around Pierce/Marion/Jefferson could make noise in the east while they try to develop their other youngsters?

For a #5 and "players"??? Ain't no way Marion is worth a #5 alone, let alone some toss-ins....

!!!!!

Exactly!!!

Freakin' West-Pierce-Marion-Jefferson-Perkins is a helluva squad! Especially in the East!!!!

 

[mribnik]

Well, I guess Ainge can make the claim that if Ridnour is worth the #11, then Marion is worth the #5.

exactly. that's what the Celts are thinking.

The toss ins would be salary filler and or marginal prospects. Marion makes them better next year than the #5 and it makes Pierce happy.

 

[RingtheBell]

I bet the Suns leaked this on purpose...


If Marion says no and the Phoenix fans know he is the reason Garnett is not in a Suns Uni he commits suicide for his rep in Phoenix.

 

[elindholm]

See, I told you all that Pierce would save the Suns!

(Actually, I never said any such thing.)

 

[Cheesebeef]

hmmm, you know, maybe, just MAYBE, Marion played this all perfectly as the talk of him leaving was a ploy to get that extension from the Celtics and now that Pierce has also come out and said what he said, maybe Marion can really get an INSANE deal that he wouldn't have gotten otherwise from Boston.

then, again, that would mean we're guaranteed a title and I believe us to be cursed, so that probably makes the above completely moot.

No, reverse psychology time. Shawn we will be heartbroken if you go. To have that beautiful chicken wing jump shot replaced by some awkward moving 7'0 footer who plays like a soft 2 guard, don't go shawn we need you.

That would actually mean things worked out for us, so I doubt it.

Yeah, if this trade actually goes down, we definitely need to thank Paul Pierce.

I hope your kidding, Marion is a stud has been one of the Best small forwards in the league for awhile now, and if you remember the Dream Team Marion was the best player on that squad when they struggled. We have to make this trade but Marion is not appreciated as he should be here. He does so many things that go unappreciated, to say he is not worth a kid coming out of college not named Durant or Oden is a joke...

As hard as I am on Marion, boston keeping jefferson and only moving #5 is a GREAT move for them.

Ok, sportscenter is starting in 4 mins, my legs are almost shaking with nerves.
