From a basketball perspective, this would be idiotic for the Suns. Marion is a better man defender than AK, he's a better shooter, a better finisher, and a better rebounder. AK is marginally better at creating his own shot, and only significantly better at weakside defense. In my opinion, Marion is the best player on the Suns (he plays both ends of the floor), and the best player in the league that doesn't have dominate the ball. The only reason he hasn't won a DPOY yet is because the rest of his team is so bad defensively.

Spot on description of both players. Marion is by far the better player, Suns would never do this deal w/o several draft pick inducements or if they were sure they were going to lose Marion w/o compensation and I sure wouldn't take an oft injured player like Kirelinko that had such a terrible year for weakside shot blocking help.
