Ok... according to my diehard Mavs friend in Texas, the Mavs were going to trade Diop and a few players with expiring contracts (Stackhouse perhaps) to Miami for Shaq in what was being labaled a "salary dump" by the Heat. Phoenix got wind of this and panicked into a trade due to LAL getting Gasol. Miami gets better a deal as Marion is a quality player though he could leave in the summer. Either way is win-win for the Heat. They dump an aging, oft-injured player while freeing up salary cap space.
