What is Bynum's contract like?

No way they can handle Kobe, Gasol, Marion, and a legit top 2 Center with any kind of usable bench.

That would be the hardest part - the cost. Plus our team has to resign both Ronny and Sasha plus Bynum is coming up on a big payday.

If Riley would take Luke or Radmonovich and LO for Marion that might work (I haven't checked the trade checker) - otherwise we may only be able to keep LO once his contract is up if he accepts a somewhat significant pay cut and have no chance to pay Marion what he would want.

Did anyone cath lisa salters' report about riley asking marion what plays they ran for him with the suns. So they never had at least a few plays for marion?

Also I had another question. If the suns win it all this year is marion still eligible for a ring? I think nomar recieved a ring from boston in 04 the year he was traded to the cubs. Not quite sure how the NBA does it.

the reason marion would be a better fit in LA than odom is similar to the reason he's a better fit in miami. he's way better than odom. no way riley trades marion for odom. wade + marion are a great combo i hope marion signs a reasonable extension and that he and wade are successful
