I'll say this...Marion would absolutely be a better addition than Richard Jefferson (for us). So if we get Marion for the Stack chip, I'll have to admit I was completely wrong on not cashing Stack in for RJ.

Just for chit chat, what is your reasoning behind thinking Marion is a better get than Jefferson?

not jthig, but if marion's contact is reasonable, i like his deal far better than i like jefferson's deal. that alone is enough to seal the deal.

factor in the fact that marion is a better 3 than jefferson and that jho/marion at the 2/3 is a better alternative than jefferson/jho at the 2/3 and i think the deal is pretty straight forward.

Aex got it mostly. The big thing is the salary. Jefferson is making 29 mil over the next two seasons. I doubt very seriously that Marion's deal in this proposed SnT would reach that amount for three years.

Also, I think Marion is a much more versatile player, and much, much better defensively. Marion can guard a lot of PF's which I think has to be one of the real selling points to the Mav's front office.

Marion's a better defender and rebounder. If you're looking for a guy who can create his own offense, RJ is obviously better, but when you have the Kidd on your team, you don't have to worry about that.
