re: Marion would be pissed to be traded to a bad team

Or how about he actually contributes and EG plays well and maybe this won't be a fricked up situation.

I do think Monty and Demps have a better shot of persuading him to play than any other team with a top 10 pick, but he sounds like he's in ring chasing mode. I'm not sure helping the Pelicans make the playoffs is enough incentive even with $10 million at stake.

Y'all need to stay home and don't post with the loser mentalities y'all have.

People are motivated by different things, usually it's money and minutes but a guy at the end of his career like Marion often cares more about contending. That's not having a loser mentality, that's recognizing specific situations so you can prioritize and properly manage your resources. Throwing our cap space at Marion would be risky if he's in ring chasing mode, being irrationally confident won't change that.
