Right, because we couldn't use a 18/10 4x All-Star small forward still in his prime who is near the top in steals every season and would easily become by far our best defender
Since leaving the stat-padding of the run-and-gun, Marion has proven his defense has slipped, he is out of his prime, he can't create his shot, isn't a trust worthy shooter, and is probably good for ~14/10/45% for the next 2 years of his career before he becomes bench fodder. [Want the lotto numbers?]
And he wants max money.
We have a poor-mans Marion in Moon. [Who could put up 10/7/48% on good defense next season]
