Rumor: Marion to Mavericks will be announced today

[Shank]

That's not the trade.

[Ghazi]

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.

Crawford's terrible.

Mavs just gave up Stack and cash....so basically nothing for Marion. Well other than 5 years and 40 mil from Cuban

5 years for Marion...dude will be 36 by then

Crawford's terrible.

exactly, even Antonie Wright is the man who plays tough defense and attacks the rim much more than an average Mav does on the other end of the floor. Crawford may not be the an eventual resolution to the troubles, but he can at least mitigate the lack of a starting 2 guard. Marion would only be an replacement for Josh Howard, and it won't be nice if either of them plays off the bench as the Mavs have already got JET as their 6th man. Therefore Josh Howard is to be traded, but there isn't any team seeming interested in him at present. Of course it would be a stupid move to deal him cheaply as an expiring contract like Stack and Damp. Donnie should have accepted the Wizards' offer to deal him to Washington before the draft night, but as foolishly as usual, he declined it which could have brought us a nice rookie with potential and talent.

So? All you fools act like 36 is old...he can still be productive. He'll probably be traded by then anyway

[Bob Lanier]

Bryan Colangelo, Mark Cuban, and Chris Wallace agree to 3-way?

In 4 years the whole team will be in the crapper, so it won't matter that Marion is 36 and playing for a 20 win Mavs team that's tanking for a lottery pick.

This is a win now move, so if extra years will make Marion happy, fine by me. There's only a 2-3 year window where Dirk will still be a high-caliber player anyways. Load up for the next couple years and screw the future.

[Shank]

. If he's 36, then he'll be ripe enough to play for the Spurs.

[monosylab1k]

According to Marc Stein's twitter, he's talking like it's a done deal. So is a few other places.

The best part about Kris Humphries?

He's from Chaska. A noted location from the movie "Fargo". Doesn't get more badass than that.

Go Bears.

[Findog]

Getting Marion is cake. Getting rid of Breath and Wright is icing on that cake.

lol..actually, both of our team's average age is exactly the same now...27.5...Spurs have gotten a lot younger...and that average includes 36 year old Finley still on the team...stop living in the past...

Here is an update on Marion.

TRADES: Four teams now in Marion deal?

Shawn Marion | Raptors

ESPN.com's Marc Stein reported late Wednesday afternoon that the Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors had successfully enlisted the Memphis Grizzlies to help facilitate a trade of F Shawn Marion from Toronto to Dallas, but Stein later tweeted that a fourth mystery team could become involved before all was said and done.

[Findog]

Do we have any interest in Stack boomeranging back to Dallas for the vet minimum? He understands the biz and liked it here, bought into the Mavs culture. Shank?

[Shank]

I think if he could play, then they'd consider him. But he's too busted up and they can find better and younger at the same price. Pass.

Just curious. Mark Stein on his twitter thinks he'll be a good pickup for somebody.
