Man I love Matrix.  That guy is a friggen beast out on the court.  One moment he's making clutch deffensive plays,  the next he's recieving an allyoop pass and dunking.  He can shoot the 3 ball (ok), his inside pressense is deadly, he's a rebounding machine and he's one of the best defenders in the league.  What more can you ask from one man?  He's the reason why my first Jersey good old no. 31.  Nash may be the Field Marshal of this team but Marion is almost just as important in being our go to man in almost every situation.  Just look at how we struggle when he's out with an injury, it's almost as bad as when Nash is out.
   With all that in mind I'd have to say that I'd miss him if he goes after this season.  Now let me correct you Gunz but i'm almost certain that there is no kind of straight up swap being planned with Garnnet for Trix.  It just wouldnt happen, especially with the certainty of the Suns trying to get under the salary cap this season.  
    The likelyhood of the Matrix trade comes from the situation with the draft.  For there is the very good possibility that we will keep Atlanta's pick, puting us at arroung 4-6 in the first round (as long as the lottery doesnt move atlanta into the 3 spot then it would be their pick).  Thus the rumors have it that if we get that 4th pick the Suns may try to package Marion along with the other 2 first round picks we have (clevelands) in order to move up into either the 3rd or especially the 2nd spot.  With that in mind there is the very good possibily that we can get either Oden or Durant, which needless to say would be pretty dam sweet.  
    So with that in mind there's a good chance we'll lose Marion at the end of the season, if only to get under the cap.  Yet I think that it'ss still in the air......depending on how the playoffs go.

We hear reports of these kind of complaints from Marion so often that it's hard to imagine there's not at least some truth to it, even though we all know reporters sometimes bend the facts to get the quotes they want. I think Marion is hands-down the second-most important player on the Suns, and he's almost as irreplacable as Nash. But if it ever gets to the point where he truly doesn't want to be on the team anymore, it's a tough call. As great as he is, I think he's delusional if he really believes he'd be an MVP-type player on another team. MVP's usually don't get picked from bad teams (just ask Kobe), and any contending team is going to want him for the same kind of role he fills for the Suns. Still, the grass always looks greener elsewhere, and it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up on another team after his contract is done if not sooner. But that will be a sad day when and if it happens.
