Marshall is 100% more fun on Twitter too, so I would approve this move.

That Dallas team that won the title masked quite a few guys that got a lot of minutes but weren't particularly great defenders: Dirk, Barea, JET, etc.

A 3rd PG is important but I think its more important to keep that roster spot free for a future trade (to keep flexibility open). If something drastic happened like an injury to GV or KL then they could go out to the D-league and find a guy to fill in for the year. Marshall is an okay player.. he sucked before he got to play for D'Antoni which is usually the case for PG's in the league.

Marshall is only 22 and this was just his 2nd year in the league...pretty harsh to say he sucked when your talking about his rookie season! 8 pts, 8.8 assists for a second year player is good regardless of playing for D'Antoni...he's gonna be a pretty damn good player in this league...

Woj said they'd be looking to resign if he cleared waivers.
Maybe get him back at more years with less pay given his current status in league? Help secure cheap roster spot moving forward?
I'm just talking out loud here

might have some thing to do with almost $18mil already tied up in 2 PGs ahead of him in the depth chart in nash & lin and he's a defensive liability, not saying he's a star but he's a 40% 3pt shooter & his 8.8 assists was 2nd only to Chris Paul & 3.18 assist-turnover ratio ranked 5th overall... my point is he's not a 3rd string PG...he's better than that
