Marion's run-and-gun style would perfectly complement head coach Rick Carlisle's up-tempo offense as initiated by floor general Jason Kidd, and together with Dirk Nowitzki he would give Dallas their own Big Three. It made sense to fans at the time. After all, Marion certainly helped the Phoenix Suns run up the score on the Mavericks often enough in postseason play. Unfortunately, the move didn't work out as expected. The lesson learned by the Toronto Raptors and the Miami HEAT - that Marion is no longer the above-the-rim, electrifying player he once was - slowly sank in for Carlisle, as well. Gone was his funky but effective three-point shot, missed dunks and lay-ups replaced those highlight reel slams, and by the end of the season the team has actually acquired his replacement - Caron Butler - via trade. It comes as no surprise, then, that we're being told by multiple teams that they've taken calls from the Mavericks gauging interest in Marion. It's a hard sell, and teams we've talked to said they didn't even have passing interest in Marion. His long-term deal is the primary repellant, but the fact that he just recorded his worst season since he was a rookie didn't help. Marion managed just 12.0 points per game for the second consecutive season, but grabbed a career-low 6.4 rebounds per game, shot just 16% from three, and often sat on the bench during crucial moments in games - especially during the playoffs. Based on what we've seen over the last couple of seasons, Shawn Marion simply isn't an impact player any more. That doesn't mean the Mavericks won't be able to trade him, it just means they're going to have to put together a very impressive package around him, probably starting with the instantly-expiring contract of Erick Dampier. The receiving team could create roughly $13 million in cap space by simply terminating Dampier's contract on arrival. Dampier could then return to Dallas and finish his career as a back-up center under a veteran's minimum contract, possibly backing up Shaquille O'Neal. We've been reporting for several weeks that Shaq will likely land in Dallas this summer, and ESPN has joined that refrain. It still seems pretty unlikely that a team would be willing to take on Marion's contract, but as we've seen, no contract is untradeable. Add enough value to the deal and someone will decide that they have the right mix of players in place to take advantage of whatever Marion has left in the tank. The Mavericks have also been rumored to be interested in moving Caron Butler, a much easier sell. Butler is still a top-notch player and he's entering into a contract year. The Mavs would obviously prefer to move Marion and replace him with a two-guard, but it remains to be seen whether or not they can find a team willing to help them accomplish that goal. http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?STORY_ID=16564 据说已经在兜售Marion了 不过想当然这种约没什麽队伍会想要 势必要加上其他配菜 例如Damp 去让其他队伍清新资 Damp再回来当替补C 文中也提到Shaq过来的可能性 以及Butler可能也同时在被兜售 -- 男「でもお生憎様です。许嫁さんは饵あげすぎです。 　もう好きになっちゃいましたからね。手遅れです」 --
