It wouldn't make any sense for the Suns to make that trade. Marion is a top 10 player in the league and key to what they do. The Suns don't need a high profile shooting guard, any random guy they put in there can be a near all star.
I also don't think Kobe will be traded. It just doesn't make sense. In reality, I don't think the Lakers have done a bad job personnel-wise. I guess trading Caron Butler was a big deal since he was Kobe's best friend, but there was no reason to have him on that team. Then the other issue was that the Lakers missed out on Jason Kidd and Ron Artest. First, the Lakers need is a dominant post player, not a pass-first point guard. Second, Ron Artest at this point is only a slight upgrade from Lamar Odom. Neither would have driven the Lakers to the finals.
The Lakers have done a good job, in my opinion, with Bynum and Kwame. Both players are young with good potential and are exactly what they need. Getting guys like that is a lot better than signing free agents like Jamal Magliore or something. It takes time to build a good NBA team and it is near impossible to land a free agent big man the caliber they need.
