But of course, you needn’t guess; we’ll lay them out right here ... just as we did at 8:29 this morning. Because once again (if you’ll allow me to brag a bit) what we said could happen. … and should happen. … IS HAPPENING.

... What's Marc Cuban smoking and where can I get some of it? $8 million a year for 3 years to lock up Jason Kidd? Marcin Gortat at the FULL mid level? And now the rumors that he's looking for Shawn Marion in a sign and trade deal? I'm sorry... even if you make that happen, Kidd, Gortat and Marion aren't enough to put you past the Spurs or Lakers... or maybe even Houston and Portland. ...

The Two Man Game —
ESPN’s Marc Stein:
The Dallas Mavericks, after striking verbal agreements over the past few days to retain Jason Kidd and sign restricted free agent Marcin Gortat to an offer sheet, have identified their next target: Shawn Marion. The Mavericks and Toronto Raptors, according to NBA front-office sources, are in advanced discussions on a sign-and-trade deal that would bring Marion to Dallas. No trade appeared imminent Monday night, largely because this will be a difficult deal to complete without a third team to help make the salary-cap math work. But ...
If the Clippers Wanted Shawn Marion...
Clips Nation —
... , with a $7M cap number, but only $2M guaranteed. But even a S&T; with Stackhouse would be $2M more than the Raptors can afford. According to Marc Stein the Mavs and Raptors are looking for a third team to help facilitate the transaction because "this will be a difficult deal to complete without a third team to help make the salary-cap math work." But "difficult" is not really the word I would use. I'm a pretty smart guy, and I'm hard-pressed to figure out how Marion gets his Dallas payday AND the Raptors clear their cap space even with a ...

The Stackhouse rumor and the CBA: it's complicated, OK?
RaptorBlog.com —
... on this blog. And the reason I tend to avoid that topic is simple. The CBA is really fucking complicated and I like to try to avoid making a public fool of myself whenever possible. I'm bringing this up now because of the rumor that Toronto might sign-and-trade Shawn Marion to Dallas in return for Jerry Stackhouse . As I understand it, this move would be made before the Turkoglu signing and might help the Raptors sign Turkoglu without having to renounce both Anthony Parker and Carlos Delfino. Jerry Stackhouse's 2009-10 expiring contract is apparently for $7.2 million but only ...
