wow the last I heard Marion was going to go back to Pheonix along with Rudy Gay in a three-team trade PHX was getting Rudy and Marion in a deal? Who was getting Amare? "The proposed multiplayer trade is fluid, but the framework would include the Suns receiving a package that includes Miami forward Shawn Marion and Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay. Miami would send rookie Michael Beasley to the Grizzlies. More players would be needed to balance out salary-cap rules. “Miami knows that they can’t get this done directly with Phoenix,” one league executive said. “The big thing is that they know the Suns like Gay.” Suns owner Robert Sarver directly called Memphis’ Michael Heisley to discuss trade possibilities between the two teams. The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported that the Grizzlies rejected a Suns’ proposal of Gay, forward Hakim Warrick and point guard Mike Conley for Stoudemire. It also reported the possibility of a three-way discussion. Before the 2008 NBA draft, the Grizzlies tried hard to trade up to get Miami’s No. 2 pick to draft Beasley. The teams never came to terms, and Memphis ultimately worked the draft-day O.J. Mayo-Kevin Love trade. Gay hasn’t meshed well with Mayo, who took over as the Grizzlies’ top scorer. For the Suns, Marion’s possible return would be an ironic turn of events. The Suns traded him to Miami one year ago for Shaquille O’Neal, and now, he’s attractive because of his expiring contract. The Heat have tried to shop Marion to bring back a strong low-post player, and have tried to get teams to take guard Marcus Banks with him, sources said. The Heat believe they could sign Amare Stoudemire to a long-term extension before he has the ability to become a free agent in the summer of 2010. Phoenix seems determined to move Stoudemire before Thursday’s trade deadline. As the Suns try to change a failing chemistry, they’ve found a league that isn’t interested in taking Shaquille O’Neal and his contract. The Portland Trail Blazers also have discussed a trade for Stoudemire, and sources said they have offered the expiring contract of Raef LaFrentz and rookie point guard Jerryd Bayless. The Chicago Bulls also continue to talk with the Suns about Stoudemire." |

horrendous and meaningless. it'd be cool if the raps made a run but damn, that team is horrid. jo is hardly even a quality player anymore. heat blew it out of their ass on this one. i'd rather hold onto marion and let him walk than get this value. raps get cap relief, whatever. they're not keeping marion. he could be a huge addition for them but he won't be at all.

Nice deal for Toronto just because they dump JO's contract. Toronto might actually be a good fit for Marion.
I would've liked to see that big three way deal go down. That'd be a great trade for everyone involved.

well just OK for Memphis but I think Beasley is better than most people give him credit for

Maybe the Heats offer Beasley and other player to sign Amare I think.

JO is horrible now. Marion should fit in better with the Raps.

I like this for the Heat. O'Neal has been playing well the last six games or so and is still a quality player when healthy. I think he will be a good fit with Wade. Wade/Beasley/O'Neal could be a really solid trio and I'm not sure I'd want to face a healthy Heat team in the playoffs.
