--- Quote from: GangstaBoogy on September 26, 2007, 12:16:00 PM ---Marion And Kobe Talk Trade
Shawn Marion wants out of Phoenix and is interested in becoming a member of the Lakers.
"I'm definitely interested in the Lakers," said Marion.
He also said he talked to Kobe Bryant, and Bryant "embraced it."
Said Marion: "He wants to make it happen."
If Bryant cares about what trades the Lakers make and thinks adding Marion would help, at least it's an indication that he's thinking about the Lakers as "we" not "them."

If this trade goes down, I'm gonna hunt you down like a dog and kill you.

Lol don't trip it's probably not gonna happen. Either Marion is using us to get what he wants (ie: Mo Williams with the Heat) or the talks will only lead to Mitch getting nervous and backing out (ie: B.Diddy, Boozer, Artest, Kidd, JO).

Imo Odom + Bynum for JO would be better than Odom + Cook for Marion. At least JO is a big. Marion however is just a more athletic and less skilled version of Odom lol. Doesn't bring big change other than leaving Kobe with more work cause he would have to initiate even more. In other words if this trade goes down, Jim Buss is on Bynum's dick way too much, way too much.

You're over looking something real important. In terms of durability, Marion > Odom & J.O. They're both always injured. Odom is a great all around player, and he'd be excellent on another team, but he's not doing what we need him to do on the Lakers. In 3 years this guy has only has 3 seasons he only had 2 30 point games. Marion is much more consistent. Plus, now that we have Fisher we don't need Kobe to be the full time play maker. Besides, the triangle gives everyone a good amount of shots.

Although likely, it's still speculation that JO will be injured and that Marion won't. Odom is already playing minutes as PF, you want Marion to that, too? That's sick. At this point, I'd do that trade, but only cause of the special situation the Lakers are in. But still, you're fooling yourself if you think that's a great trade.
