there's been some rumblings in the organization that shawn marion hasn't been happy as of late, in particular with his lack of offensive opportunities. apparently, after manu went down he thought he was gonna become the new #1 option, but with guys like joe johnson, ian mahinmi, and al horford there's only so many shots to go around. i talked with him about it and he told me that with the lines he puts up across the board, the rebounds, the assists, the blocks, the steals, the lack of turnovers, he should be rewarded with more shots. i had to agree with him on that and told him the fact he's so versatile makes him one of the most underappreciated players in the game, but i wasn't willing to commit to him being the #1 option at this time. he agreed to continue to let his offense come within the flow of the game, but i could tell he wasn't happy about it, especially with the fact he's been here 2 years and is being passed by rookies like ian. as much as i wanna hold onto this guy, i may need to trade him before he becomes more of a headcase. he won't come cheap, but he won't be superstar steep.
