Last week, we reported on how Dwyane Wade needed to leave Miami in order to play for a contender. Well, that is before Wade became a pitchman for his team. Now, there is the strong possibility that Jazz forward Carlos Boozer and former Piston guard Allen Iverson could very well be headed to South Beach this fall.

According to ESPN, the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat have agreed to trade power-forward Jermaine O’Neal and high-flying Jamario Moon to the Heat in exchange for Shawn Marion a.k.a The Matrix and point-guard Marcus Banks.
The trade is pending league approval and once accepted will go through later Friday says ESPN.
This is an outstanding trade for both teams. We start with the Heat first.
Miami Heat
Jermaine O’Neal is an outstanding big man that can contribute a lot to the Heat. His presence down low will cause many players to adjust their shots and think twice before shooting the ball. O’Neal can block, rebound, shoot and distribute the ball. He will be a huge help for Miami come playoff time.
Jamario Moon is an extremely athletic player that has great potential to improve into a better player. With Dwyane Wade by his side, Moon can turn into a very exceptional all-around player.
Toronto Raptors
Shawn Marion will finally get to play his normal game of basketball for the Raptors. Alongside of Chris Bosh, Marion’s numbers will absolutely sky-rocket as he will go back to averaging double-doubles and playing his all around game.
Marcus Banks is a solid back-up point-guard that will probably average no more than 15-20 minutes per game.
