factor in the fact that marion is a better 3 than jefferson and that jho/marion at the 2/3 is a better alternative than jefferson/jho at the 2/3 and i think the deal is pretty straight forward.
Aex got it mostly. The big thing is the salary. Jefferson is making 29 mil over the next two seasons. I doubt very seriously that Marion's deal in this proposed SnT would reach that amount for three years.

Also, I think Marion is a much more versatile player, and much, much better defensively. Marion can guard a lot of PF's which I think has to be one of the real selling points to the Mav's front office.
