I'm afraid Shawn Marion is a poor fit for Moreyball. And he's too old to be handed a multi-year contract, which no doubt he is seeking.
I would like to point out, i have lost my thread starting privileges. I brought you the lin meme thread, the James harden meme thread, but i can't no longer. I don't get why with this popping up everywhere
I wouldn't mind Marion , I think he is holding out for as much $ as he can get. I question his drive to want to win.
nah Marion would be an ideal player off the bench for us...but whatever seems "ideal" this offseason has gone the completely opposite direction
is he going to help us get out of the first round? no. is he going to be a tradable asset? no. so what's the point? let the young guys get the minutes. why? because then their production is greater than their cost, which makes them a valuable trade asset. combine whichever two stand out (looks like canaan and dmo in the summer) with some picks and NG contracts in an offer for rondo or dragic.
Of course he's the kind of player who can help you advance in playoffs. A 1+1 contract for MLE money it would be the ideal signing.
I would give him a 1 or 2 year contract without a 2nd thought. The guy is still (at 36) a stud defender and can defend multiple positions. Not a great 3 point shooter but still manages to hit a respectable percentage. He is another player with a ring and would give us an outstanding back up to Ariza at the 3.
