Just wondering guys,
if this Miami & Phoenix deal goes through..
how would this effect
Shaq and Marion fantasy wise?

i have marion so hopefully well.

i dont think this will help shaq out at all.
1. because hes injured already
2. when he gets back he'll be playing with a great team with players that will get more touches then him (unlike in miami ).


Marions a little different.
It could go both ways but im going to say he improves.
Hes playing for a bad team, so he'll improve his scoring. He also is a great fantasy player because of his defensive stats and will probably grab every rebound on a weak miami team.
Most people believe that nash is the reason why marion is as good as he is and i really dont believe that at all. Mainly because marion is so key defense which doesnt have anything to do with nash. Marion is also averaging 16 ppg which i dont think can get any worse.

The only difference for marion is the playing style in Miami compared to Phoenix. Will he be able to adapt?


Im gonna trade him

Will this mean that Diaw is worthy to pick up right now? Without Marion and with Shaq hurt he should be getting a lot more minutes and touches.

Im more worried how this trade will mess with Amare.

Amare always has played center... with shaq on the team hell prob end up playing PF... i wonder how thatll mess with his line

well he will move back to his natural position of PF....he will not lose reb to marion either....

im interested in seeing in banks will have any fantasy value with 3s and assits, anyone think so?

I have Wade and Marion. Im actually going to take the risk and keep Shawn Marion see how he plays for the Heat. I believe he'll almost have 10+ rebound every game with couple blocks, couple steals he'll be manning the offense. I hope all works out.

I think his FG% will go down, and his points will go up. Boards will always be there, no one will take them away in Miami. You do have Haslem, but Marion will still get his double digits. His defensive cats (steals, blocks) will probably remain the same.

The only difference I see is a less-efficient, more scoring, Marion

i also have/had marion and wade. I just traded them for amare and baron davis. Clearly a steal for me.

I think Wades assists will go up and Miami will start running a little more now that they have a finisher on the fast break. Marion will definitely gobble every rebound on the Heat. Banks will have no value, nor will he ever.

I believe with Marion now in Miami, Riley won't shut down Wade, that he will want those two star players to get used to each other and have that chemistry.

its done!!!

I picked Shaq up. I mean if the suns think he's healthy...

So I'm assuming the consensus now is to NOT trade Wade, am I right?

so Amare goes nuts now?

More shots for Grant?

I wouldn't say that..
but as for me im hanging on to him, His performance tonight in Detroit was pretty good aswell, maybe Riley told him something, but i really don't see Riley shutting down Wade unless he gets into a big injury, Riley and the miami fans would love to see how Marion/Wade work together to the rest of the season, something positive for the fans/organization to look forward to.

should i pick up diaw?

Diaw is a good pickup. You're still getting 4 assists from a center... That's worthy of a pickup before this trade.

It really depends on how healthy Shaq is. If Diaw is coming off the bench for a few more minutes (he difference between Marions and Shaqs minutes), I don't think he's that much more worthy of a pickup. However, if Shaq is sitting every other regular season game, Diaw is def. more worthy of a pickup.
