Marion has another year on his contract, so he's not going to be helping any team dump salary anytime soon.

If they deal the pick, they better come up with serious shit, bc otherwise I'll vomit all over my place. And right now I lack a girlfriend to clean it up...
I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think the Mavs can trade this year's pick (at least not at the deadline). There will still be a theoretical possibility that they could finish above the 20th draft position when the trade deadline passes, which would mean this year's pick would go to OKC (via Houston, via LA).
