Marion? Lee? PG situation?

Hello folks,

Been out of town since the Hedo thing became He-don't -- but was hoping folks could fill me in regarding a few other options out there. 

I just read the excellent "addition by subtraction" comments in another thread and agree with the principle, but still believe that there are moves to be made and players to be had that would be additions, not subtractions. 

One name is David Lee -- an obviously productive PF that would provide much that Channing Frye didn't (i.e. toughness inside and rebounding). 

With Hedo going to Toronto, doesn't that leave Shawn Marion available?  His defense, explosiveness, and ability to play at both ends of the floor would be an asset to this team, I think.  I am not sure how he would fit in -- I know he wanted out of PHX because he was tired of being second (or third) fiddle behind Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash.  So, not sure how he would fit being a third option after Roy and Aldridge... and not sure how to reconcile minutes with a logjam of SF's already.... 

Clearly, we need to upgrade at PG too, as much as I like Blake.  I'd like to sign Lee, trade Bayless and Outlaw for a starting PG, bring Blake off the bench.... so it would look like this: 

 

PG:  NEW ADDITION* - Blake

SG:  Roy, Rudy

SF:  Webster, Batum

PF:  Aldridge, Lee

C:  Przybilla, Oden**

*New addition.... Andre Miller?

** I continue to put Joel in the starting spot until Oden demonstrates readiness for it.  Either way, it's a two headed monster that brings defense and not much offense really...

Odom

does bring a lot of the same things hedo does. (size, playmaking, experience, decent scoring) but he is too inconsistent for me. plus i cant stand the guy

Odom's stronger and plays more like a big man.

Turk is a small forward with a skill set to play guard as a secondary position. Odom is a 3 as well as a legit 4, plus he can play defense.
