That’s what Bill Ingram is reporting.
↵The news should come as no surprise. Butler is an awkward fit at the 2 and the Mavericks would ideally like to move him to his natural 3 position this summer. If you’re going to trade Butler or Marion, Marion would be the logical choice.
↵However, trading Marion is a near impossibility at this point. He suggests packaging Marion with something valuable, like Dampier’s contract, in order to get some team to bite.
↵I have a hard time believing any team would be interested in that package, but you never know.
↵Another note with Mavericks ties, the Warriors are now actively shopping Andris Biedrins after shedding Maggette's salary yesterday.
