The Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors completed their long-discussed trade
Friday, with the Heat sending forward Shawn Marion and guard Marcus Banks to
Toronto in exchange for forward/center Jermaine O'Neal and guard Jamario Moon.

Cash considerations Conditional draft pick
The trade talk between Toronto and Miami was first reported on NBA-TV's "The
Beat" show Jan. 13.
The Heat also receive a future first-round draft pick, to come sometime
between 2010 and 2015.
It's lottery-protected, essentially meaning the first time the Raptors make
the playoffs after this season, their first-rounder goes to Miami. If Miami
does not get that first-round pick in 2010, it will get an additional
second-round pick that year.
As a part of the deal, the Raptors also receive cash considerations.
NBA officials approved the swap Friday afternoon by conference call, the Heat
said. All players involved will likely have to pass physicals, which can be
waived by agreement.
The deal had been discussed for more than a month, with Miami shopping
Marion's expiring $17.8 million contract around the league. After discussions
with several teams, however, the Heat couldn't find a better partner than
Toronto, which was looking to unload O'Neal after a brief (but disappointing)
stint with the Raptors.
O'Neal never meshed with All-Star forward Chris Bosh, with both men needing
to operate in the low post. When O'Neal was out of the lineup with injuries,
the Raptors played more cohesively, with third-year center Andrea Bargnani
more comfortable on the perimeter, leaving Bosh space to operate down low.
Marion, sent with Banks to Miami by Phoenix last year in the trade that sent
Shaquille O'Neal to the Suns, had similar problems adjusting. He played a lot
of power forward in the Western Conference, and with the run-and-gun Suns, he
was able to get out on the perimeter and use his speed and quickness
effectively against bigger defenders. But in the East, he struggled. Miami
played him more at small forward, and he lost many of his advantages.
But Marion still played well at times, including his final game for the Heat
Thursday in Chicago, when he took a give-and-go pass from Dwyane Wade for a
game-winning dunk in the final seconds of a 95-93 victory over the Bulls.
Marion said at halftime of the Bulls game that he "was a professional" and
could handle the trade talk surrounding him.
In recent weeks, Marion was referred to by both Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and
president Pat Riley as the team's "second-best player" behind Wade.
In Phoenix for All-Star weekend, Wade did not immediately respond to a
request from The Associated Press for comment on the trade, saying he would
wait until the deal was officially announced.
Marion's arrival in Toronto will give the Raptors a very athletic frontcourt,
playing next to Bosh and Bargnani, and allow the Raptors to play more in
transition, the style of play preferred by Toronto general manger Bryan
Colangelo -- who helped build the same style of team in Phoenix that Marion
starred on for parts of nine seasons. A source close to Marion said that
after having initial concerns, Marion was now open to the idea of re-signing
with the Raptors after the season when he becomes a free agent.
Jermaine O'Neal gives Miami two things: a legitimate post player to throw the
ball into and financial flexibility down the road. The Heat had started
rookie Michael Beasley, the second pick overall in last year's draft, at
power forward early in the season. But recently, Miami has brought Beasley
off the bench in favor of Udonis Haslem at power forward and Joel Anthony at
center. Beasley has been playing more at the small forward spot.
O'Neal averaged 13.5 points and seven rebounds for Toronto. The 30-year-old's
presence will allow Miami to continue developing Beasley at small forward.
Miami has played an array of players at center this season, including Jamaal
Magloire, Anthony, Blount and even Haslem, a forward who gives up several
inches in height and at least 20 pounds to every other true center in the NBA.
O'Neal's contract expires in 2010, the year of the celebrated free agent
class led by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Bosh. If Miami opts to let O'Neal
go after that season, it will clear the $23 million on his contract that year
off its books and be in position to be a major player in free agency. With
Banks's $4.8 million that season also gone now, Miami has less than $30
million committed in salaries that year, meaning the Heat could be in
position to add one or two max-level free agents to go along with Wade and
Beasley.
The deal takes Miami out of the sweepstakes for Phoenix forward Amar'e
Stoudemire, who's being shopped by the Suns. Miami and Chicago were two of
the teams that had made strong plays for Stoudemire.
Banks averaged 2.6 points in 16 games with Miami this year. Moon averaged 7.3
points in 54 games with Toronto, and becomes a free agent after this season.
With Banks gone, Miami has only two true point guards on the roster: Mario
Chalmers and Chris Quinn. The Heat do have room to sign another player, so
it's likely Riley will pursue either picking up a guard through free agency
or making another trade.
