Thursday, a four-team deal sending Shawn Marion to the Dallas Mavericks has been approved by the league office. Marion is set to receive a 5-year deal contract from the Mavericks worth an estimated $39 million.
Under the sign-and-trade deal, the Orlando Magics traded Hedo Turkoglu to the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors sent Marion, Kris Humphries, Nathan Jawai and cash considerations to Dallas, while also sending a future second round draft pick to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Mavericks in turn shipped Jerry Stackhouse and cash considerations to the Grizzlies and Devean George and Antoine Wright to Toronto, while the Grizzlies dealt Greg Buckner to Dallas.
The inclusion of Jawai to Dallas was a new wrinkle in the deal. The Raptors were suppose to send Quincy Douby to the Grizzlies instead.
As reported from other sources, the cash that accompanies Stackhouse from Dallas will help the Grizzlies buy out his contract. Only $2 million of Stackhouse's $7.25 million dollar salary next seaason is guaranteed, as long as he is waived by August 10th.
