Just Some Thoughts...

... I was thinking about the Shaq trade and watching some of the "golden days" of the suns on youtube.. you know.. nash to marion alley's.. and then i though.. Dammit I miss Marion. under Gentry he will become the player he was before.. Maybe a little older.. WOuld you guys have liked to see another Shaq for Marion trade?? (Wishful thinking)

If Steve Kerr Thought about his team before rushing into a trade, wouldnt the thought of trading a future hall of famer in Shaq for some garbage with big price tags just seem.. wrong to him? I dont know, but it just seems wrong.

I give Kerr a lot of crap for the terrible trades he's made here. But this isn't one of them. I'm tired of hearing the know-nothings in the media talking about how we were the best in the west when the trade went down. Most of the folks here, and those who really followed Suns basketball knew that the team wasn't going to win a damn thing. That team died when Amare and Boris were suspended and we blew the lead at the end of game five. That was our last hurrah. At least Kerr had the cajones to make a gamble to try to squeeze one more season from the team. Did it work? No. But it wasn't a bad trade.

The Shaq trade was a horrible trade as it took us from mediocrity to absolutely sucking.

I never liked the Shaq deal but could see the reason behind it.

So of course, I'd like to have Marion back on the Suns.
In a perfect world, he would realise how much his reputation has decreased and accept that he is not a max-deal player.
Marion would then sign with Phoenix for the mid-level exception or something similar and retire in Phoenix as a fan-favourite with his jersey up on the ceiling (and somehow a ring on the way...).
