After Thursday’s trade, Mark Cuban might’ve turned his Mavericks into a offensive powerhouse once again.
Dallas acquired 4-time All-Star forward Shawn Marion on Wednesday in part of a 4-team deal that also saw Jerry Stackhouse go to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Kris Humphries, Nathan Jawai & an undisclosed amount of cash will go from Toronto to Dallas, while Greg Buckner goes to Memphis to Dallas.
To complete the deal, Antoine Wright & Devean George will both go from Dallas to Toronto.
The deal now gives Dallas a lethal lineup which already includes of Dirk Nowitziki, Josh Howard & 2008-09 6th Man of the Year winner Jason Terry.
Jason Kidd is also a nice option, as he re-signed with the Mavericks on a 3 year deal worth $25 million.
Marion does bring a proven player with postseason experience to Dallas, as he has scored 17.1 points in 65 career playoff games, all with the Phoenix Suns.
The Matrix’s deepest playoff run came during the 2005-06 season, when Phoenix was knocked off in 6 games by his new team in the Western Conference Finals.
Stackhouse could soon be reunited with ex-teammate Allen Iverson, as Memphis is looking to sign the 10-time All-Star guard to a 1 year deal.
