Toronto Raptors will trade center Jermaine O'Neal along with forward Jamario Moon to Miami in exchange for forward Shawn Marion and guard Marcus Banks.
The deal is reportedly awaiting league approval.

Heheh, it seems Banks is tied to Marion forever. Everyone wants to pass on his dead contract.
Well neither team has much to lose here. Marion expires this year, Oneal the next. Miami were never going to extend Marion with 2010 coming up, but now they can use Oneal, and if he pans out well, they can try to resign him for less after they sign all their big name free agents. If not, they have a massive $22 mill expiring contract.

What does this mean for Jawai? Will he now begin to get minutes?
Only really leaves Bargnani, Vokshul and Bosh bigger than Jawai.
Will Toronto just give up this season and run guys like Jawai or will they look to sign a big vet?
haha, the second "o'neal" that marion has been traded for.

Toronto obviously think Jermaine is done as a top centre, so why do the Heat think they are wrong?
Marion still has a lot of game and will be perfect for Toronto at SF. Could we be seeing the begining of the SSOL Raptors?
Hopefully we see a little more of Jawai as the team enforcer down the track too.
