i can see Dallas wanting to grab him, but wasnt New Orleans looking to shed its contracts and save money? why would they want to pay out a big contract to Marion?

intriguing though... who would we want in return from either team?
Josh Howard comes to mind... and i'm sure Hornets are trying desperately to get rid of Chandler.
Alot of teams would want a S&T because they can't afford signing him outright without subtracting a contract. Very few teams have 7-9 Mil to spen on a player.
