Carlos,
i think the best available deal for the Suns would be trading Marion for Ak-47- Andre Kirelinko. With Stoudemire recovering from surgery and losing Kurt Thomas- the Suns can use some additional toughness on the inside- Kirelinko is a great shot-blocker and rebounder and in the West you need toughenss on the inside esp. against Tim Duncan, Dirk N. in the West.
Kirelinko is not that big of a drop off offensively and again he can give you toughness inside. The Suns have enough other scoring components: Diaw, Barbosa, and they drafted Alonzo Tucker who can fit in nicely as well. If i was the Suns i'd trade Marion for Kirelinko.

From who's really available out there, the best fit has got to be Kirilenko AK47. He's just as versatile as Marion, probably plays better inside. May not be as quick or as good of a perimeter defender, but definitely better inside. And that's exactly what the Suns really need this year after the departure of Kurt Thomas.

Marion is the best fit for that team but someone great to replace him would be Josh Smith (Atlanta was rumoured to be dealing with Phoenix amid the Garnett talks in the summer)

the suns drafted tucker from wisconsin so i think they should just start him. He is a phenominal player.
