Shawn Marion and his expiring contract for a Hall of Fame center and his expiring knees? Shaq and his peoples have reportedly been told that he should prepare himself for a trade. Talks are "serious and ongoing" but nothing is a done deal. Suns PG Marcus Banks has been mentioned alongside Marion, and the Dallas Mavericks are also reportedly a possibility for Miami's man in the middle. The freed-up cap space would allow the Heat to target any number of high-profile free agents following this season, including Baron Davis, Gilbert Arenas, Elton Brand, Antawn Jamison, Ron Artest and Corey Maggette.
