<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The rumors floating around - published and unpublished - suggest that the HEAT aren't planning to keep Shawn Marion. One version of this rumor has the Dallas Mavericks involved. We've heard that it might be as part of a three-team deal that would land Jason Kidd in Dallas (the Mavs don't need Marion when they have Josh Howard), but then we've also heard that it might just be with Dallas. ... Avery Johnson denies his team is looking at any trades and Mark Cuban refuted this rumor specifically, saying he has not spoken with the HEAT at all. The Mavericks are pretty straightforward in these matters. If they say they're not dealing, they most likely aren't.</div> Link Nets get: DeSagana Diop Josh Howard Juwan Howard Jerry Stackhouse Mavs get: Shawn Marion Jason Kidd Malik Allen Heat get: Devin Harris Erick Dampier It's pretty much a win win trade for every team. Kidd and Marion alongside Dirk is just as deadly as LA. Miami finnally gets a point gaurd at the same time as giving away Shaq. Nets loose Kidd and bring in J-Ho.

Dallas is so high on Josh Howard I doubt it. I mean, they worship that guy over there more than Dirk.

i dont like this trade, simply because, i'd rather have marion since he potentially has an expiring contract, and with a very good FA class, i would defffff take a 16.44M expiring contract, and potentially have the money to bring in players lik Josh Smith, Emeka, Iguadala, a chance at Arenas....and im sure there is much more P.S. i almost forgot Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Brand (optout)

If Marion is the only player from the Heat in the trade, he could be traded at any time.
Trade works if you replace Howard with Devean George. It's actually two trades: Marion for Devin Harris and Erick Dampier. and then Allen and Kidd for Josh Howard, Stackhouse, George and Diop. I'd love that deal, just cause I love Diop as a player. He's like a better, African version of Collins. And Josh Howard is boss. Although, we'd have an RJ, Carter, Stackhouse, Howard logjam. Let's see Frank work THAT one out.
