I know you prefer Marion. That's cool. I might agree, I'm not really sure. I definitely prefer him in some respects. But it's definitely arguable.
Arguable that he's their second best player? Come on dude.

From a pure value/talent standpoint, there is absolutely no argument to be made that Caron was better than Tyson Chandler this year. And I really don't think there's a ton of argument for him being better/more valuable than Marion.

And while he's probably a better overall player at this point of their careers, losing Kidd would have hurt a lot worse.

Caron Butler was never, at any point, the second best player on the Mavericks. And he wasn't even close to the second most important.
