Anyone know what this is about?

I'd guess it involves the development of STAT, as well as the lack of national recognition for the Matrix, along with contract issues...and most importantly, their ability to play side-by-side.

I think it's been worked out.  

The most important part, in my opinion, is for Marion to realize that while he is a max-contract player, and worth every penny...he is not a superstar player to have a team built around:  he is this decade's Scottie Pippen, with far better speed and hops.

And, I think, with the championships forthcoming, he'll realize that.  Shit, even Scottie was in the top 50 of all time...so he can be too.

Like the saying goes, "Money makes the world go around." I believe no player is immune to trade, especially if there is a championship to be won. Example, the New York Yankees. Now that's a team that is in it just for the sheer business of winning a championship, but here's another example, they haven't won one yet so they are proving that monied players are not what they seem to be! You could put the best players together and still not win. My question is, why not keep the same lineup for at least two years and see how they work out, if they don't, trade the lazy bastards! Just kidding....
