Klashnekoff Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2009/images/02/06/marion.jpg Nets Still in Waiting Mode, Made a Bid for MarionJuly 15, 2009, 6:47 am At the end of a column mainly devoted to strange contract incentives (Rafer Alston and Tony Battie have some), Dave D’Alessandro writes that the Nets made a bid for Shawn Marion but the 6′7″ All-Star said no thanks. According to Dave D, the Nets were ready to clear $6 to $7 million in cap space for Marion. Meanwhile, Rod Thorn says he’s monitoring “three or four guys” in free agency to see who drops. Good, didn't want ya in Jersey anyway fool lol.. Why would we even be attempting to offer guys like Marion offers like this .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hmm....haven't heard about this before you posted it. I wonder who those "three or four guys" are that Thorn was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I thought they were/are clearing cap for 2010....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 More of a thing just to make it seem like we are still "trying". Would make more sense to put an offer like that to Millsap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who those "three or four guys" are that Thorn was talking about. I'll have a look into it and see if i can get some names, i think we can add Marion into that group of 3-4 guys.. i also wouldn't close out David Lee.. I thought they were/are clearing cap for 2010....? Yes we are but as Thorn said in a previous article, LeBron does look secure in Cleveland as does Wade in Miami and Bosh in Toronto, we need to look at all of our options and seeing as Lopez is future potential all-star and we already have our franchise player in Harris + complimentary players like Lee, Williams etc then we should attempt to build at that also ..
