do suns fans actually like this dude??? i mean...maybe you guys look at it differently, but he seems scared on the court sometimes. from last year when he scored 7 pts a game vs SA, to this year where he either looks scared to shoot, or takes the softest, sissy shot around the basket, instead of dunking it. in the regular season, there are many shots he would dunk, but in the playoffs, he shoots these ugly floaters that bounce off the rim instead. what im trying to say is that if i was a suns fan, i would be on the brink of hating him. it seems like he gets scared. im not bashing him as a suns hater (because i actually like them, im not a fan, but they are fun to watch...and of course raja bell), but since the mavs beat the spurs...i wanted the suns to beat them..but marion seems like he is scared to friggin dunk the ball in dirk's face. there was this one time diaw (i would choose diaw over marion...diaw is a MONSTER) gave him a sweet pass on the baseline after he got dirk and diop to commit...they both were primed under the basket for a marion poster...what does he do? throw up a 10ft floater that clanked off the rim. you all better get amare back to how he was last season...at least he has some heart. someone needs to give marion raja bell's heart...then maybe the outcome would have been a bit different

Even better...let's keep him and get back a star big man from the IR.

I strongly believe that Suns will trade Marion because of luxury tax.

Suns owner will not pay Marion $35M a year.

Sarver recently said in talking about the future that he's not saying he's never going to pay it eventually, but thinks it's hard to continuously do it in their market.


and shouldn't this thread be on the Suns board since he's asking Suns fans?

Marion at times frustrates me with his offense. But he gives the team so much that it's hard to come down on him. Find another forward, or player for that matter, that'll give you 20 PPG, 12 RPG, 2 SPG, 2 BPG and 40+ MPG. You won't find many people that'll give you that.

As for trading him, you'd better think long and hard before sending him away. The guy is a vital player for Phoenix and will be able to get out on the break even more next year with a healthy Amare.

Durring the regular season Marion was our Co-MVP. I do admit I feel like he can be to passive at times in the playoffs, but this guy busts his *** and does so much stuff for the Suns. It seems to me the only people that don't like him are little kids or those that just don't watch the Suns as much as true Suns fans.

Personally, I think we need to give Marion another year before we even consider trading him. Even then I don't want to see him go. I want him to retire a Sun. This guy has done a lot for this franchise, is a perfect supporting star, has lots of class, and always gives 110%.

i dont think you all should trade him...he is a god regular season player...he just needs someone to light a fire under his *** in the playoffs

he did avg 25.6 pts and 12.6 rebounds against the clippers. He played well against Grizz/ Mavs last yr till he ran into Bruce Bowen against your Spurs. But that's nothing new with Bowen, he shuts down a lot of guys.

He still plays well in the playoffs for the most part, it's just hard for him because it's too easy for the defense to take him out of the offense. When he came into the league, that runner was a huge weapon of his...but that said he still didn't shoot a great percentage. Shawn has been hurt in these last two playoffs when the team cannot run. The Suns cannot rebound the basketball, and cannot play interior defense. These two things destroy any consistency in Marion's offensive game. For Marion's skills to be maximized, Phoenix needs to be able to play defense and rebound. Otherwise, he will mostly be effective in the few games that he is just on fire and the games when the Suns are able to run.

Another problem is his own. He has the tendency to take himself out of the offense by standing at the three point line. I'd like to see him be Josh Howard-like aggressive on offense, relentless in the attack. He struggled with confidence I think in this year's playoffs. Maybe the facts that his name is always mentioned in trades and people blame nearly every loss on him are starting to affect him mentally, I dunno.

It seems as if it motivates him last couple of times. Remember those spans of games where he had unreal pts and boards after the all star break? Seemed like every flip shot, and floater were going in at that time. He was on another level then. Those were just off trade rumors for KG at the deadline, a
