The Shawn Marion era for the Miami HEAT may be coming to a close.
League sources confided that Miami was indeed looking at opportunities in the
trade market and that Shawn Marion was an available chip that the HEAT seemed
open to cashing. The belief according to league sources is that Marion is not
long term for the HEAT, and given how he is playing, the HEAT expect him to
look for a better situation in the off-season. The HEAT still have not found
a groove with Marion in the lineup, they are talking to teams according to
multiple sources. Sources say the Chicago Bulls, the New York Knicks and the
Sacramento Kings have all had some level of discussion with the HEAT. The
Knicks were looking to move Eddy Curry as the center piece of a deal that
would likely include one of New York's younger players – Miami was said to
covet David Lee, while the Knicks seemed less than interested. The Bulls were
looking to shed Larry Hughes, as the centerpiece of a deal that apparently
did not interest the HEAT at all. Sacramento is rumored to have been
approached about the status of Brad Miller, but unless the Kings can rid
themselves of some unwanted contracts in the deal they may not have much
interest, although League sources said that the Kings would have interest in
the cap space that Marion could clear this summer. Marion's contract in the
right deal could put the Kings roughly $13 million under the salary cap if
structured in the Kings favor. League sources said they expected the number
of teams talking with Miami to expand as word of Marion's availability
spreads. Marion is in the final year of a deal that pays him roughly $17.4
million.
