Getting Shawn Marion pretty much killed any chances of ever getting Gerald Wallace...

With Marion and Wallace being able to play multiple positions, it would work beautifully. Marion can easily slide to the 2 (and has many times) with Wallace at the 3 or 4. On defense, both players are very versatile. Marion can guard just about every position, and Wallace has the ability to guard the 2, 3, and 4. I don't see it as much an unconventional idea as a dynamic one. You would be a menace offensively and defensively. I've seen Stephen Jackson mentioned. He, too, is technically listed as a 3. Because he plays in a system that utilizes the assets of his skill set, we may see him as a 2. The same can be done with Wallace.
This move would allow the Mavs to pick up size without sacrificing anything in the way of production on either end. A huge plus, in my book.
