I was wondering that myself, since he vetoed the trade to Minnesota for Kevin Garnett if I'm not mistaken. The only thing I could come up with is he probably feels he will be able to showcase himself better in Miami, where he is no worse than the second scoring option now, and as often as D Wade has been hurt Marion will be the man during the games Wade is out. At worst he will be able to raise his scoring and rebounding averages significantly, and at the end of the season will be in better position if he decides to opt out and pursue a long term deal elsewhere...
