Marion, 7 others move in 4-team trade

The Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic combined in a massive trade yesterday that included eight players, a draft pick and stacks of cash.

The major results of the deal sent Shawn Marion from Toronto to Dallas, Jerry Stackhouse from Dallas to Memphis and helped seal the transaction that moved Hedo Turkoglu from Orlando to Toronto.

Among the other moves: Forward Kris Humphries, center Nathan Jawai and cash went from Toronto to Dallas; guard Greg Buckner moved from Memphis to Dallas; and swingmen Antoine Wright and Devean George went from Dallas to Toronto.

Memphis also received a second-round pick and cash from Toronto, plus cash from Dallas. The Mavericks and Raptors both also sent cash to Orlando.

The Magic were going to lose Turkoglu anyway. After Orlando acquired Vince Carter, Turkoglu opted out of his contract and became a free agent. He had already decided to go to Toronto, but turning his departure into a sign-and-trade finished off the complex deal.

Dallas got Marion, a four-time all-star, in hopes that he'll be a complement to a starting lineup featuring Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Josh Howard.

Marion is 31 and headed to his fourth team since February 2008, having bounced from Phoenix to Miami to Toronto.

Varejao stays put. Anderson Varejao - the energetic big man with long, curly hair known to the team's fans as "Wild Thing" - agreed on a multiyear contract with Cleveland.

The 6-foot-11 center/forward from Brazil has played five years in the NBA, all with the Cavaliers. Agent Dan Fegan told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the deal is for six years worth up to $50 million.

New Pistons coach. Moments after introducing Cavaliers assistant John Kuester as Detroit's sixth coach in 10 years, team president Joe Dumars said Kuester "might have the most job security of anyone in the NBA."

A former 76ers assistant, Kuester replaces Michael Curry, who was fired on June 30 after going 39-43 in his first season. The Pistons were swept by Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs. Detroit had reached the Eastern Conference finals in the previous six seasons under Rick Carlisle, Larry Brown and Flip Saunders.

Only Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince remain from the 2003-04 championship team.

Knicks sign Douglas. New York signed guard Toney Douglas, the second of two players they picked up in the first round of the NBA draft. Douglas was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 29 pick and the Knicks acquired his rights for a future second-round pick and cash. Douglas averaged 21.5 points last season for Florida State.

New York still has to sign Jordan Hill, the No. 8 overall pick.
