It's definitely something Dell should look into, I just don't get a few things about the situation:

Can this type of deal with Marion (or Carter) even happen before the draft?

Would Marion have to opt in before this can happen? If so, when is his deadline to opt in/out?

What is the effect on our cap situation if Marion decides to retire after being traded or we bought him out?

Would Marion's ugly form rub off on Rivers and make his shot even uglier?

I believe players technically opt out rather than opting in, so he's already in unless he declare's he's out. The deadline for opting out is June 30th. I think the trade would have to happen July 1st so you're working with next year's money. So Marion could certainly sink the deal if he decided he didn't want to play for the Pelicans. I would imagine the Mavs will pick a player we both like and can agree on if some sort of deal is already in place.
