I really hope Masai picks this kid up, it would be a classic low risk/high reward move. Marshall's only 22, and he had one bad season on a bad Suns team, and they gave up on him right away. He's been improving his game in the D-League, and I'd rather give him playing time to improve his game than any of the other 3 back-ups we have. He could be signed for an extremely cheap deal, and plus, he's a pass-first guy, something this team could use a lot. Thoughts?

Trade Lowry and pick up this kid. Give him, Big Val, Ross time on the floor. The worst than can happen at the end of the year is that you will end up with a high draft pick, have a complete assessment for these 3 guys and who knows, maybe 2 of them can at least be considered your solid bench players next season.

The solution to the back up PG problem probably won't be solved this year --- it will probably only get worse if Lowry is traded.. don't think Marshall is the solution
If we are going to take a gamble I would rather give up assets and target players like Schroder, Gal Mekel or Larkin
or more likely scenario, target FAs in the summer Ridnour, Sessions, Hinrich (or Robinson, Mo Williams if they opt out)... and have a legitimate back up, none of this 3 scrub first come first serve rotation

"Upon being drafted, he expected to play behind Steve Nash. When Nash went to the Lakers, the system fell apart and, on top of the wrist he broke that ended his UNC career, he never adjusted.
That's a shame because he has spectacular court vision and can really run an offense. Roy Williams called him the best passer he's ever coached."

Of course, I am a Tar Heel and I thought he jumped to the pros one year too early, so this is the result.
