As far as seat location is concern, mine are just off center behind of one of the baskets. Not a perfect location, but at least I got the first row up there.

MY bad, I just saw the 280 amount.

Then he simply changes into this selfish guy, who is so tired of being the #3 option and garbage man. I guess we will see. Even if he is traded to the Lakers, I just don't think he would improve the team all that much. Frankly I think Kobe might have been under-estimating Odom all along. He is better than most people think, IMO.

I think he is overreacting. The nba and pro sports is a business. If he thinks he is the only guy to have his name mentioned in trade rumors he needs to wake up. Just about everyone and anyone is mentioned in trade talks here and there. He claims he is tired of being a number 3 option? well here are the facts- he is the highest paid suns player. Yeah he is a 3 man- because nash and amarie are better than him. It's that simple. I would have totally disagreed with you about him being a locker room cancer until today. His remarks are so stupid I believe it now. He is pissed cause he didn't get his 60 million dollar extension and that's why he wants out. If he thinks he is going to win more games as a laker he needs to wake the fuck up. The bottom line is this- In phil Jackson's system odom is the better player. He is a better passer. That is what the lakers need in the triangle. Odom can rebound just as good and can score just as good too. And odom costs 3 million less. So the lakers would have to be dumb to make that deal. They won't be better. Marion is not a franchise player. He has made a career over being a garbage man. He is awesome at it. to average the numbers he does on a team that doesn't really look to him is great. I see his ppg going up as a laker cause they will run plays for him but they won't be a better team.

Word!

Both my buddy Greg and I think Marion should just shut the hell up and just play!

[Robert Parrish]

Fuck all those bitches. None of them play like I did.

[ibzrg1570]

Hmmm... I'm gonna allow this only because parish was also a bull during one of our many championship years.

It would be one thing if he had a rational reason for not wanting to be in phoenix. But what reason does he really have?? He has played 8 nba seasons. His numbers aren't going to get much better if better at all on another team. He is a 4 time all-star with the suns, he is their highest paid player, He plays for a team that should win a tittle in the next few years, he plays for a team that will win 60 or more again this year. What the hell does this asshole really have to complain about??? he wants 20 mil a year?? shaq makes 20 mil a year, kobe makes 20 mil a year, kg makes 20 mil a year. Shawn marion is not in the same boat as those guys. HE is not the difference maker any of those guys are.

So Marion is tired of being the sidekick on the Suns. What the hell does he think he'd be on the Lakers? He'd still be No. 3, behind Kobe and Kobe's Ego.

what ego?

Why would shawn marion want to goto the lakers when Kobe is demanding to be traded anyway??

[GH0STrider]

Preseason is here!!!! Yeah!!!! Bulls vs. Bucks 2marrow night!!!

[Azyiu]

Yeah, I am excited too, but then you know what? Pre-season (especially the early portion) usually means starters are all going to sit out for various reasons. I kind of hate it when teams still charge full price when half or the entire starting lineups are on the bench... if they are even in the building at all!

[GH0STrider]

I enjoy it a lot because it gives me a chance to get to know the new guys on my team. For the bulls I'll be watching for noah, smith, gray, curry, ect. The guys that might not get playing right away. I like to see what they can do.
