It's really not arguable at all. He's not even their best SF. They were relatively equal offensively, and Marion is obviously a better defender/rebounder.
Now, Caron was the only other player that could carry an offense when he was playing well, and the Mavs definitely miss that. But the package as a whole was nothing close to their second best player this season.
