... . For Shawn Marion . That d be an interesting trade. And Sactown Royalty is visiting trade opportunities (3-way deals seem to be the way) to land AK in California. Here s the big problem.

Wouldn't the Clippers rather have Kirilenko than Bibby? Especially if they lose Thomas AND Maggette? Of course the fact that this trade proposal started from a comment on a Sactown Royalty post explains the Kings' presence in the room, but the Clippers and Jazz could make this deal happen all by themselves. ...
