in my opinion marion is the best complementary player for almost every starplayer in the whole wide league...especially for fings!

I dont want to hype him to much, but I see him as a modern version of pippen...not saying he is on a level with him and he hasnt the playmaking-ability pippen had, but what can you ask more of a second guy, as to:
1. be able to defend every position!
2. getting 10reb from a wing-spot (or versatile PF-spot)
3. hitting 0.526 of his FG's and more than 0.347 of his 3pters
???

yeah Pierce is a great player and I would choose him over marion if I needed a leader/#1...but Marion is born to be a #2 and I would choose him next to kobe, next to wade, next to lebron and so on

after all we have to see how it works out but I'm very confident wade will have a lot of fun with marion at his side!

Marion complements Wade much better..but Pierce is a top 15 player, .Pierce is THAT good that ill take him.. despite Wade/Pierce being similar players.

But Pierce>>>Wade. Wade would complement PP, not the other way around.

clearly Marion. Pierce is one of the most overrated players in the league.

Marion easily. Pierce's ability to move without the ball is nowhere near as good as Marion's. Marion also provides more defense, rebounding, etc.
