With most teams sorted in terms of their starting 5. There is always room for a piece as reliable as Shawn Marion. And according to CBS Sports, the Los Angeles Clippers have joined the Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers and the frontrunners Cleveland Cavaliers in the sweepstakes for Shawn Marion.
The question is whether or not this would be a better fit than Cleveland, where the team has a similar need and the best player in the world on the roster. It might be nice to play in the weaker East for a change, but Marion might simply prefer to spend his time in Los Angeles. Neither team can offer him more than the veteran minimum.
The latest development in this is that Cleveland and Marion have had a verbal agreement according to SB Nation. So it’s pretty much over for the Clips before it even begins. For Cleveland. Well it’s just silly now isn’t it? They want someone, they get them. It’s really that simple.
