Hey, the Heat can forget about Amare Stoudemire.
Miami finally took that option Friday, taking the Heat out of the chase for Marion’s ex-Phoenix Suns teammate Amare Stoudemire.
In a deal first reported by ESPN The Magazine’s Ric Bucher, the Heat agreed to trade Marion and guard Marcus Banks to the Raptors for O’Neal and swingman Jamario Moon.
All Shawn Marion did was lay down a dunk to beat the Bulls and then get shipped out of town.
Is this deal a big deal?
well, no, maybe, yes, depends.
O’Neal gives Miami a center. That makes Pat Riley happy, but O’Neal’s contract of 23 million can come off the books next year when Dwyane Wade has to be signed.
Marion gives the Raptors some scoring, but many think that Bosh will be heading out of town.
