Best case scenario for both teams would be to start discussions, Marion gets wind of it, and declines his player option because he doesn't want to play for us that bad. Dallas gets him off the books and we aren't stuck with him. Marion can go play for the Minimum with the Heat or Clippers.
We then trade for 13 + Vince Carter. If Vince plays for us, fine, he only makes 3.1, we can still get someone in FA (although still, not a lot). Or he may retire or consider a buyout for a portion of his salary.
I still think a deal with Dallas is essentially us giving up on FA before it begins, AND handing them Dwight/CP.

The former kind of depends on what the market will present to us.
Getting Marion while also grabbing a SF of the future is a worthy tradeoff IMHO, as the big targets I had in mind, like Pekovic, don't seem to be realistic anymore.
The latter still depends on CP3 and Dwight, both of whom are whiny bitches and/or indecisive.
Dallas could have a clean payroll outside of Dirk, throw money at those two, and still have a decent shot of getting neither just because of how those two are.

Related thought-
We get VC and, if he wants out, we flip him to Chicago for Rip Hamilton and other considerations.
Rip's contract only has $1m guaranteed, which is less than any buyout we'd likely pay on VC's $3m+ deal.

Agreed, but I think next offseason is when we would rather make a splash.

Is why I don't do it.
