Look at the Eastern Conference. Adding Marion makes them a seriously threat in that weak conference, IMO.

The east is weak for sure. And if you love offense and the run & gun, Marion is your guy. But if you want post season W's, Marion is anything but your guy.

NO ONE LIKES BASEBALL!! Talk about the Suns!

They're trying to kill me, that is there plan to kill as many suns fans as possible, Oh god, I can't breathe

It's working...

 

[Dr. Jones]

I will bow to the altar of Marion if it does, if not, ugly...

It's this easy.... He goes into the ring of honor if he goes.

If not... He might not make it.

I'm willing to bet they're just going to repeat the rumor. If the trade were finished it would be THE TOP STORY

 

[boisesuns]

always a bridesmaid, never the bride. If Marion blocks this, it will go down in history as worse than Paxson for 3, Elie for 3, Amare and Boris off the bench for 1.

this ain't happening. i just know it.

POSITIVE THINKING CHEESE!

Oh he'll be in the ring of honor, expect it won't be a plaque up there hanging, it will actually be shawn marion

every time I get positive with the Suns, it ends up a disaster.

 

[RingtheBell]

Neckcar?!

lol and ouch.

Yup, If it was a done deal it would have been first. Then again maybe they have heard all the rumors also and they don't beleive it. LOL

The good thing is I dont think you are just doing this because of superstition, I think in you're heart you truly believe this doesn't happen.

 

[B-Dogg]

I believe this deal will def get done but dont count on it being announced till the draft on thursday...

 

[RingtheBell]

Omggggg

 

[Cheesebeef]

put on ESPNNEWS.

You're under-stating Marion's value in the playoffs and you can't compare the playoffs in the Eastern and Western conferences. There is no comparison

Well screw it then

your right.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm going to run for it. Wish me luck. I'm going for the light at the end of the tunnel even if it's a train. Somebody has to bring this deal home.

 

[asuhoopnut]

I think it would be hilarious if, when Boston comes to Phoenix next season, Marion gets only modest applause but Pierce gets this thunderous ovation.

That's the funniest thing you've ever said. I would be all for an ASFN section of seats for that game and our contingent leading the cheers for Pierce. Way to go Eric. Great suggestion !!!!!

 

[hsandhu]

Here we go..

 

[Cheesebeef]

i just believe that Shawn Marion's complete and utter idiocy blocks this deal from happening, even though it gets him EVERYTHING he always ******* and complains about (respect - in the form of an extension/not being third fiddle/being able to be more of "the man")

 

[RingtheBell]

'F Kobe! Garnett is ours!

 

[hsandhu]

ESPN is such laker ******

 

[82CardsGrad]

No, I'm not... Marion can get you regular season W's... But check his stats in the post season as compared to the regular season. Shooting % - down. And he looks ******** in the half-court which is a MUST in the post season...

I can't believe the Celtics would be this stupid...
