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.

Everything I've been reading has made it pretty clear that Marion won't be going anywhere for the remainder of the season.

Just read the article. Riley is ready to rebuild and confident with his new pickup.

Ya after I posted I went looking for it and read the article on espn.com, that's why I posted again saying I had read it. Interesting to see Riley making that comparison. Shoud also be interesting to see if Marion is deserving of being the second option and such a comparison.

Riley also said he wasn't shopping Shaq.

How would they trade Marion? Doesn't he have to be on the roster for a certain amount of days...and I'd assume that'd carry beyond the trade deadline...unless there's some loophole.

Yep, unless the other trade was announced when the Phoenix deal went down, there's no way for Miami to move Marion prior to the deadline. You'd think most writers would have realized that.

Im not sure, but look at the source. Its hoopsworld and when I used to read it, they were one of the most un-reliable in rumors and stuff. It seemed like it was just some random guys writing what they think should happen and so forth.

Well, you never know tho.

That rule onlt applies if thy trade him with another player - Marion can be traded immediately if he's the only player that Miami is sending out. It's the "Non-simultaneous trade" rule.

If this happens, I think I'm going to find the nearest infant and punch it in the face.

I beleive that when a team trades a certain player they need to be in that roster for about 90 days.... We have about 13 days before the trading dealine expires, not a true rumor in my opinion.
