The Dallas Mavericks will acquire forward Shawn Marion in a trade deal with the Toronto Raptors, according to multiple reports.
The trade is believed to be not official yet, but is said to be happening. Unconfirmed reports say Marion agreed to a five-year, $40 million contract. The Raptors needed to trade Marion due to salary cap issues caused by their signing of Hedo Turkoglu from the Orlando Magic.
Several other players are reportedly part of the deal ESPN reported , including the Raptors’ Kris Humphries and Quincy Douby, the Mavericks’ Jerry Stackhouse, Devean George and Antoine Wright and the Grizzlies’ Greg Buckner. The Grizzlies will be getting Stackhouse, Douby and cash, sources said. George and Wright will end up in Toronto, according to the same sources. Humphries and Buckner are on their way to Dallas.
Marion will join Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard at the Mavericks, giving the team four former All-Stars, and one seriously loud mouthed owner.
