Marion apprecitation thread

Marion will perform in Miami. No doubt. That guy is going to get rebound and run with Dwayne like nobody on that team has before. I guarantee that Marion will excel in Miami. He will be the 2nd best player on that team.

nashman you are pretty much completely wrong. Its ok if you havent been as informed as others who invest time into the details, but dont come on here and flip out when someone makes the connection between marion and garnett.

In THE article where marion called up his journalist buddy and announced his desire to be traded, he ADMITTED he didnt want to go to boston (the deal which was still hanging by a thread post-draft which brought KG here for KT and the remains of the marion to boston trade), the SAME article where he hinted he was looking for a 3/60 extension.

Now stop hatin, and get appreciatin


There is no doubt in my mind Marion will be in the ring of honor. The things he did, he did well and often, and by doing those things well, established himself as one of the highest paid athletes in the league.

Wow you all hear what you want to hear. Believe what you want to, Marion for Garnett was not a deal that was going to happen. Marion did not veto a trade that would have landed Garnett. This has been widely reported but a few of you just don't comprehend apparently. So go ahead and hate on Marion like he cost us Garnett, its simply not the case, but don't let the facts get in the way.

Though I don't buy the Marion veto story myself. Neither trade was ever going to happen (Marion or Amare) once we lost the Atlanta pick. However, it was also "widely" reported that the initial trade offerings did include Marion plus the Atlanta pick if we got it.

So I don't see why you find that hard to believe. There were enough reports backing that up.

Shawn is on 910 right now... he phone was breaking up. To be honest, I didn't realize his phone was breaking up until they told the audience. I thought it just sounded like he was talking normal.

man knowwhatimsayin man?

He is sounding a little bitter about things. Got sick of the trade rumors forever... he also felt a bit disrespected.

Sounds like the source of contention to me.

That's weird, if only he would have said something?
