Chisholm: Marion could take days/weeks to decide??

There was the talk of making contact with Shawn Marion, a no-brainer move for a club that has spoken for weeks about its desire to retain the services of the athletic forward. However, given that Marion has talked at length about wanting to explore all that free agency has to offer, it will probably be days, if not weeks, before anything substantial on this issue is fit for reporting. Also, given that only formalities appear to stand in the way of the Raptors announcing Carlos Delfino's return, it will hardly be worldwide news when July 7th rolls around and Delfino is being trotted out before the press to announce his return to Toronto.

Chisholm: Unusually quiet start to free agency for Colangelo

Even MLSE can't go out and spend $50Mil on free agents. They are stuck with the MLE and a few other smaller exceptions and that's it.

the best thing here is that he is waiting to sign somewhere
at this point he is going to wait himself into a low contract
teams are already starting to sign big money guys, at this point marion will only limit his options as the few teams with money start using them and leave only us Raptors with money left to give him
this will help us in that he will have to either come back or at least do a sign and trade with us as we will be the only team left with money

formalities?

B-RAD · 07-02-2009, 02:47 AM

that's why bryan is trying to put in a back up plan because if it's going to take weeks then, bryan wants to have a player there that will either be marion's back up or replacement/ he is smarter than the average gm. instead of sitting on marion's decision make shit happen. one of the many reasons i like bryan colangelo.

he's waiting for an S&T
whoever doesn't get Hedo or Ariza will want him if they need a SF
