| South Florida Sun Sentinel: A source familiar with the situation said Wednesday night that the Heat already has received overtures from the Raptors, Pacers, Clippers and several other teams regarding Marion, who is seeking the type of lucrative extension Heat President Pat Riley appears reluctant to consider. |

Well this can't happen anymore.
The Clippers traded the #7 pick to Seattle for #4 pick. I just heard it on ESPN radio.

^ Nice prediction.

HoopsWorld's Travis Heath: A league source has told HOOPSWORLD that the LA Clippers are close to completing a trade with the Seattle Sonics for the #4 pick. The Sonics would get the #7 pick from LA along with some other kind of compensation, likely a future first round pick.
The source confided that the Clippers will then look to trade the #4 pick and Elton Brand to Miami for the #2 pick and Shawn Marion. |

If brand is healthy the heat just became a solid team. Dang the scary thing they still have a shot at mayo if t-pups go lopez and even then still could get a solid PG.

The Sonics will only trade the fourth pick if Mayo is off the clock by the time it reaches them.

This goes against ESPN's report on Mayo, but along with HoopsWorld's report of the Clipps - Heat deal.
| Quote: |
SI: A report Thursday afternoon that the Clippers had reached an agreement to move up to No. 4 in the draft, with the Sonics moving back to No. 7, was dismissed as premature by a league source with knowledge of the negotiations. It is a fact that the two teams have been talking, and that it could be consummated if O.J. Mayo is available at No. 4.
This could mean that the Clippers want Mayo to play for them next year as the No. 4 pick. Or, as another league source noted, it could suggest a bigger deal is in the works with Miami.
Under this proposal, the Clippers could send the rights to Mayo and Elton Brand to Miami for the rights to Beasley (the No. 2 pick) along with Shawn Marion. The Clippers could then either sign Marion to an extension or allow him to become a free agent, generating cap relief in 2009 when his $17.9 million salary comes off the books. The bottom line for the Clippers: They would get an exceptional talent in Beasley on a cheap rookie contract in exchange for the far more expensive Brand, who will make $16.4 million next season if he doesn't opt out this summer.
Miami has been putting out the word that it is interested in moving the No. 2 pick in hopes of following the example of the Celtics, who used their lottery pick in last year's draft to trade for Ray Allen as part of their successful attempt to win a championship immediately. The Heat would come out of this swap with the Clippers with Brand and Mayo to go with a healthy Dwyane Wade, which would enable them to challenge Boston and Detroit in the Eastern Conference one year after having the worst record in the league.
• Speculation of a trade involving Miami, however, was dependent on the Timberwolves' using the No. 3 pick to take Kevin Love instead of Mayo. |

J.A. Adande is saying the Heat may look to try to trade for Brand again.
