What would be a better frontline
Marion
Amare
Shaq
or
Odom
Gasol
Bynum
Assume the Suns traded Diaw, Barbosa, or something else for Shaq instead.

I thought I'd beat phil jackson to the punch and say kobe is the better frontline.

Marion/Amare/Shaq would be a lot better

Stoudemire is a lot better than Gasol, especially in the playoffs.

STAT loves the Spurs too, I'm sure he was delighted to burn them for 40 a night

Shaq looks terrible. He and Odom are missing more point blank layups than.....well Kwame.
Marion = Odom in the regular season. Postseason I think Odom brings more to the table. All those fastbreak easy layups don't come as easy for Marion
Amare > Gasol Gasol is a great compliment to Lakers but he isn't a great lowpost threat. He gets pinned at the basket a lot. Jumpshot is off and on. Amare's offense is great, defense is Camby like in that he is a great weak side shot blocker but soft when players go right at him
Shaq < Bynum Shaq is shooting 41% from the FT line since joining Phx. 1.3 blks, 1.7 assts, nearly 10 reb's and 10 points. Playing 28 mpg. I think Bynum destroys Shaq now in all phases. He could probably play Shaq on his dislocated kneecap........

Marion>Odom at everything...offense, defense, rebounding, on the break...
Look at the suns now...it shows how much of a key marion was to them.
