Rumor: Marion to Mavericks will be announced today

[Hubie Brown]

You know Mike, I'm curious why this can't just be a swap of Shawn Marion and Jerry Stackhouse. When you look at the Mavs you see plenty of offense with All Stars Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard, 6th man of the year Jason Terry, and Jason Kidd running the show. Marion can add a defensive element to that team, so it makes sense for them to trade for him.

And then you take a look at the Raptors, you have your frontline with Bosh and Bargnani, you have your point guard with Calderon, and your small forward with Turkoglu. The only ingredient they lack is a shooting guard who can step in and give you 20 points, and Jerry Stackhouse can be that player.

Mike if I'm the Raptors I'm asking for Jerry Stackhouse if I'm going to trade Marion.

I love this troll more than words can describe.

Fake Hubie Brown is gold.

look out from the Mavs! they gonna have a good team, they added Marion and Gortat and they have the big exprin contract of Dampier to use in a trade.

KTAR's Gambo in PHX is reporting that the deal has blown up due to the 4th team backing out.

of course it has. mavs don't make decent trades.

[Ghazi]

Gambo can suck it!

[Basketballgirl25]

If this ends up going through....then this season is going to be wild.

Lakers, Spurs, Mavs, Blazers, Cavs, Celtics, Magic...Stacked

remember though, player get hurt every nba season, hopefully a player on Celtics, Mavs, and maybe lakers get hurt that would make it better

a typical mav trade would be.......dampier and stack for greg buckner......again.

Yeahhh that would definitely put the Nets into the championship picture

An NBA source says Shawn Marion will be a Dallas Maverick. Details to come.

[Ghazi]

I need this deal to be official so I can give my thoughts on our beloved Marion tonight.

I'll go with the Dallas Morning News over some dip on Twitter.

It's a sports radio station in PHOENIX!!! Hahaha

[Findog]

Nothing official, so still all speculation.

Gambo is well-connected.

Gambo is well-connected.

So is Eddie Sefko. We'll find out soon enough who was right. It's still all rumors, talk and speculation at this point.

Very true.

[dude1394]

well im not trying to dog on the mavs like usual but thats what wins games but not championships

i believe they might be better than the nuggets this season

i think the nuggets will be a one and done team like the 2008 hornets

The mavs have gotten more atheltic and better defenders at 2 of the 5 starters positions. Also they've improved the center depth no matter who starts.

[Shank]

Gambo and Sefko. I'm going with Stein on this and he's still saying it's on.

[Shank]

Why is this Gambo dip writing about the 4th team backing out? There doesn't even need to be a 4th team involved to make it happen. It's only going to take 3 when it's all said and done.

[Jeremy]

Stein now says:

After strong signals the deal would expand to include a fourth team -- with sources telling ESPN.com that the Mavericks called several teams Wednesday trying to recruit an additional trade partner -- sources have confirmed that the deal will only involve three teams.

"The deal changed," a source said.

i hear that sources at CBS sports are saying that this is the trade that will go down...

Jerry Stackhouse
$2 Million
Antoine Wright
2nd Rounder

for

Shawn Marion
Marcus Banks

holy crap if this is true... WOW.

This is simply a crap trade for the team in blue, but not HOLYcrap. Jerry's contract would bring the Mavs much more than an inconsistent PG and a former all-star who is already in his twilight. Jamal Crawford would have been a decent fill for our starting 2 guard, and Donnie should have been the first of all to know the Warriors were shopping him because that trade was innovated and mainly executed by Don Nelson. Obviously Stack's expiring would be nicer than the combo contracts from Hawks.
