Toronto's Shawn Marion will go to the Dallas Mavericks for a five-year, $40
million contract in part of a sign-and-trade deal that the two teams have
been working on, reports TNT's David Aldridge. The deal came after the
Memphis Grizzlies agreed to take Dallas guard Jerry Stackhouse from the
Mavericks to help facilitate the deal, Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said
Wednesday night.

Stackhouse has a $7 million contract for the upcoming season, but only $2
million of it is guaranteed, provided the team that acquires him waives him
by Aug. 10. So Memphis only would be on the hook for $2 million next season,
and would only give Dallas a draft pick in return for Stackhouse.

That would create a $7 million trade exception for Dallas that the Mavericks
can use to take on Marion in a sign and trade deal from Toronto. Dallas needs
an exception that large in order to give Marion a contract in excess of the
mid-level exception. The Raptors would sign Marion, then trade him into the
exception, and take cash back from Dallas in exchange -- likely $3 million,
the maximum amount allowed in trades.

"We've agreed, from our point of view, what we would do with Dallas," Heisley
said by telephone Wednesday evening. "Now it's up to Toronto and Dallas ... I
would say it's a real situation, and I'd say there's a good chance it would
happen."

The Mavericks and Raptors had been looking for a third team for the last
couple of days that had enough room under the salary cap. Only a handful of
teams met the criteria. Oklahoma City, another team with cap room, was
approached. But the Thunder had little interest in taking on salary, even for
a year, for a player that they knew wouldn't be part of their future plans.
Oklahoma City would only be involved in such a trade, a source said, if the
Thunder got a young, up and coming player on his rookie contract.

The Thunder's priority is to keep its cap room, either to hold until the
trade deadline next February or to use it in future years to re-sign their
own young stars -- Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook.

Heisley also said that discussions with free agent point guard Allen Iverson
are only in the preliminary stages. The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported
Wednesday that Heisley was ready to sign off on a one-year, $5 million deal
with Iverson.

"We've talked to his agent," Heisley said. "We have not come to anything
close to an understanding. We're just exploring. More or less, we're going to
have initial discusions with his agent. But it's very, very early. I don't
want people to think there's anything more to it than that ... it's very,
very early and It's nothing more than exploratory."
