Ah, okay. I may be in the minority among mav fans, but I would feel a lot better going into next year with a Marion type player even if that is at the expense of Howard.
You may be in the minority here but I'm with you. Marion is the same age as Dirk and a much better fit with Kidd. They have played together before and Marion is the athletic freak that we need on this team. Plus, he can guard bigger players than Josh can. He also plays better without the ball which is what we need with Kidd.
If Wright can show signs of being starting SG material, then I would be all for the Stack and Howard for Marion idea.
The POs should give us a pretty good indication if something like this will happen. If tremendous weaknesses surface as they did in the GS series, I could see a move like that happening.
Anyone who thinks we could get more for Howard than someone of Marion's caliber is simply living in fantasy.
