Marion is THE ultimate role player.

This guy did the role playing stuff so well, so very well that it made him an all star – in the forward heavy west, no less – and yet every year I’ve heard the suns talk about trading him for some cheetos and some paper towels. Stale cheetos. But quality paper towels.

Cav, can you think of one nba player that would be better suited to play alongside lebron. Can you?

My LeArgument:
LeBron can pass, marion can catch and finish
LeBron’s defense is suspect, marion can effectively D up anyone from parker to nowitzki
Cavs need shooters, marion is all substance, no flash, negative flash even, from three
Cavs stand around on offense all the time, marion is a high energy slasher
LeBron feels like taking over, no problem, marion will hit the offensive glass hard.
LeBron is incredibly fast for 6′9, 380 lbs, and marion is just as fast at 6′9, 575 lbs. Breakaway dunks for everybody!

Now that i think about it, Cavalier, since you are the entity that Lebron plays for (er you a building?), I insist that you pair up LeBron and LeMarion right away for their yogical lessons.

That photoshop brought me back to the old YAY days. And I love how you set up the Lakersground.net link. “Ah yes, here it is…”

P.S. Where’s the BDP at these days?

Hilarious Photshop. Hey, you still got game, it’s a good thing that you came out of retirement.

Everyone knows JKidd can’t carry Rondo’s jockstrap. Give me Rondo, Marion, and Sun Ming Ming and I’d run things.

Marion may be better, but how much better does it make the Lakers? Especially if they have to include another piece, and also assuming they sign Shawn to the $20M/year extension he wants?

Shawn Marion is a HUGE upgrade over Lamar Odom. – Not in the offense the Lakers are running. Maybe if they had JKidd running the point.

Shawn Marion is a HUGE upgrade over Lamar Odom.

He plays about twice as many games a year as Odom does too.

i don’t think it’s fair to call that painful jerking of arms and hands that marion uses to score “a shot.”
