Shawn Marion to only get MLE from Toronto Raptors

[Mr. Sun]

“They also have had positive feedback from Marion about the possibility of him returning to play small forward.

With a tight job market the Raptors are hopeful an offer in the range of three years for $21-million might be enough to keep him in Toronto.

“The indication is he wants to be here,” Colangelo said. “And the message we’ve given him is we’d like him back, he fits this roster and we’ll try to make it happen.”

if all he wants is MLE then a championship team like the lakers will snap him up

his agent needs to be shot for not convincing him to re-sign with the Suns for whatever they were talking about (something like 4yrs for $50m wasn't it?)

Good for us though. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

He wanted 3/60 I think he confessed in an interview around the negotiation time, so 3/21 would be a slight paycut...

[lilfishi22]

3/60 is ridiculous for a role player.

3/21 isnt really the MLE is it? But regardless i doubt Shawn would resign for that price, hes said hes looking for the last big deal of his career, so i think hes looking more for years then anything. if he gets 3/21 from us, then he could sign with a contender for 5/28 instead. I think Shawn will be a Raptor, if you guys had kept Shaq a J-RIch for Marion S+T would have been interesting but its not worth it now. Shawn will probably resign with us in an attempt by BC to make the playoffs next year and keep Bosh happy for somewhere along the lines of 3/27.

you guys should give the Nash+Marion+Amare trio another whirl.

Isn't mle around 5.35 per? I'm probably wrong. If they're offering 7 per then we have no shot
