Or maybe that's how they played it in Phoenix. What I'm really trying to say is that my first choice would not be Marion.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928137357993647725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-5555754746442768892008-12-17T12:27:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:27:00.000-05:00I really do think Carter could fit here (and is th...I really do think Carter could fit here (and is the most likely option). I think his shortcomings (lack of leadership/toughness) would be lessened by coming to a championship caliber team with an established star and defensive reputation.<BR/><BR/>Brad Miller would be nice, but only for the right price (I'm not sure you trade Wally for Brad Miller). <BR/><BR/>But Dave, Marion hasn't exactly meshed with D-Wade, has he?<BR/><BR/>Look, if the trade is Wally + Sahsa for Marion then we're all good. But as things stand today, the Cavs need a big man (which is why I pray everyday that Joe Smith gets bought out). Trading Andy only worsens that problem.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-67984554621818566962008-12-17T11:04:00.000-05:002008-12-17T11:04:00.000-05:00people said the same thing about mo williams not b...people said the same thing about mo williams not being able to co-exist with michael redd with the bucks. maybe the problem was redd and not mo??? it sure looks like that was the case now. maybe it's the same thing with marion??? maybe he couldn't co-exist with steve nash because of nash??? if you ask me, the kind of guys who can't get along with lebron are guys like laura hughes and "wrong-way" ricky davis, lesser players who think much more highly of themselves than what they should. i don't think that's the case with marion. personally, i would take marion in a heartbeat. he would be the scoring power forward they have lacked since the departure of carlos "loozer" boozer.davemandddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209724531334652756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-37588088615648608772008-12-17T10:45:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:45:00.000-05:00+1Ferry isn't firing the Wally bullet until the da...+1<BR/><BR/>Ferry isn't firing the Wally bullet until the days leading up to the deadline -- or it might be another deal at 3:59 on deadline day like last season.<BR/><BR/>If I had to rank the probables on the Cavs wish list, I'd put Vince Carter and Brad Miller ahead of Marion. Something tells me it's going to be Carter, simply because that deal almost got done on draft day last June.<BR/><BR/>But Miller is inching up the charts with the injury to Z and Sacto's abysmal start.<BR/><BR/>Marion is indeed intriguing. I'd love to see him, Bron and Ben/Andy out there vs. Boston, with Delonte on Rondo. A stopper for each Celtics weapon. But at this point, I think there are far better places to spend Wally's contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
