Marion just slowed/shut down some of the best basketball players on the planet a mere 5-6 months ago... How far do you expect his skills to drop off in the next couple of seasons? I think 8-9mil/year is EXACTLY what you pay a guy who can make a superstar's life hell.
If you roll Kidd, Marion and Chandler out with Dirk, then you keep the defensive-minded identity of a team that just won the NBA Championship... Chemistry definitely shouldn't be understated in this league (ask Chris Bosh how he feels about the concept...)
