Multi-Billionaire Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 If we are able to resign Bird and get Marion (maybe half MLE for Birdman and half for Marion)? With Marion, we get an above average rebounder, an above average finisher (esp around the rim), an above average defender in one package. I think it'd be a great move... but some people think Marion is on the decline. My questions are is he on the decline or is he just missing Nash/ D'Antoni system? Would he be a good fit on Nuggets (we have good passers in Billups, Melo, Nene, J.R., and maybe Lawson... offensively, we need cutters who can help Melo on offense, and defensively we need a committed rebounder). It also pushes KMart out of starting lineup, made our bench stronger... and he can be that big guard to guard the perimeter. C - Nene/ Andersen PF - Marion/ MartinSF - Anthony/ BalkmanSG - Smith/ JonesPG - Billups/ Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 You guys would be an impressive team if you guys got Marion, but I doubt it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Marion's contract request is huge, I doubt he'd even go for the MLE, let alone half of the MLE. If he did though, he would definitely make the Nuggets an up tempo offensive force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl. Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Marion wouldn't go for less than 10 million a year let alone half the MLE. Plus Marion want's to be a main man on a team and with Melo, Billups, Nene and JR that's not going to happen. You'd be better off keeping Birdman and looking elsewhere.

Multi-Billionaire Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 To fully contradict myself, does he not see he's on the decline? No teams in their right mind will offer him more than a full MLE. Someone who barely tops 14 ppg after he left Phoenix (hello I need a HOF PG for me to be able to score).
