What about Shawn Marion? He wouldn't command a large dollar value at all nor a lot of minutes, thus allowing for more lineup flexibility, specifically as it pertains to getting Hood and maybe even Novak playing time.

Pride is an interesting thing. It can be good or bad. I'm not sure that Marion's would allow him to sign to what is likely a cellar-dweller AND play mentor. But the idea that he might and that it might work out is certainly a little tantalizing.

Agreed. And on one hand, I think we should make an offer to Marion at something like 1 year, 7M or 2 years, 11M, overpaying for him yes but not hurting us maybe at all. The flip side though tells me, what's the point? Why have the guy for a year or two to be back with nothing at the SF spot again (unless of course we get one in the draft next year)? Why not just match Hayward? Matching Hayward will not in any way hurt us from re-signing both Burks and Kanter. It will not hurt our ability to further down the line keep Gobert, Burke or Exum either.

What's the purpose of wasting cap space on Marion?
 
Gary Neal, Gerald Henderson, 2016 & 2018 1st as a contingency dump plan in the event Suns don't match a max offer sheet given to Eric Bledsoe.

Oh wait, DL spent it all.

This was before we knew we'd match Hayward. I basically felt he is a vet (which we could've used) who can be had on the cheap (good) on a short-term deal (very good) and start at the 3 (which we would have needed), and can do a little bit of everything including 3 and d, though not nearly to the extent that he formerly could.
