if marion wants to be a 2nd option and get paid 17 million, he's going to be a team cancer. he's a good #3 guy. he'd be good in golden state, but they don't have the pieces to get him.

a $10million trade exception wont get them there?

What? He knows no one will give him 17M a yr. Not even a team that's mediocre, let alone a contender. So, that's moot. If he opts out, it's to get a long term deal and make up that 17M through that(and get out of Miami). S/T would probably still have to be done, just to go anywhere. And seriously, people blow the whole wanting to be appreciated thing out of proportion. He doesn't think he's a superstar by any means.
IF GS really wanted to, they have some pieces. Baron (they have Ellis and Baron has 1 yr on his deal that happens to be an option yr, will both extended too?), Al Harrington, Jackson, or S/T with Pietrus. They also have quite a few expiring deals this summer so they're not in a big hole or anything. By some chance, Baron opts out, which I doubt, they'd be left with 30M on the cap this offseason.

Re: Marion Update
He could go to the Cats, they will have a lot of cap space next season. Then the line up could be Felton, Richardson, Wallace, Marion, Okafor, thats nice. They would be average at most, but in the weak east itd be a nice improvement, lol.

They won't have capspace unless they renounce the rights to Emeka Okafor, so that's a no go. Though I'd like a Matrix for Okafor trade.

That TE expired a year after the trade, or sometime this January. They wouldn't be willing to give up what we'd want for Marion. Though at this point, Marion's in a bad position if he opts out. If he and Brand opt out, we'd probably renounce our right to Marion and offer that 17 million (give or take) to Brand, leaving Marion without the option of working a sign and trade with us. For that reason, he probably opts in (though I hope he opts out).

I thought it was good for just before the draft?

Hmm. The ESPN trade checker still shows it as active, but I couldn't find any information regarding the expiration of trade exceptions on Larry Coon's site. So I may very well stand corrected.
