The 2007–08 Phoenix Suns season was their 40th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), Shawn Dwayne Marion, a four-time All-Star basketball player, was traded midseason to the Miami Heat, for which big man player?
Shawn Marion Shawn Dwayne Marion (born May 7, 1978) is an American retired professional basketball player who played 16 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In a career that spanned five teams, Marion earned NBA All-Star honors four times and won an NBA championship in 2011. Nicknamed "The Matrix" by TNT analyst Kenny Smith during the pre-season of his rookie year, he was widely regarded as one of the most versatile players in the league because of his athleticism and ability to play and defend many positions. He was also known for his unorthodox shooting form.
2012–13 Phoenix Suns season The 2012–13 NBA season was the Suns' 45th season in the NBA. This season was the first season since the 2003–04 season that the Suns were without star point guard and former two-time MVP Steve Nash. Ironically enough, Nash was sign-and-traded to the rival Los Angeles Lakers despite Nash making earlier statements that he couldn't really envision himself being an L.A. Laker. Another fan favorite, Grant Hill, would also leave for Los Angeles in this season, but he would sign with the L.A. Clippers instead. By technicality, the player who held the most playing experience for the Suns this season was Jermaine O'Neal.
