Heat and Suns discuss O'Neal-Marion switch: report

MIAMI (Reuters) - The Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns are discussing a trade to send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in a swap deal involving Shawn Marion, the Miami Herald said on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old O'Neal, reportedly due to fly to Phoenix to have his injured hip examined, failed to make the All-Star team for the first time in 15 seasons with a career-low average of 14.2 points per game.
The powerful center, known as "The Diesel", has two years left on a five-year contract worth $20 million per year.
Miami president and coach Pat Riley refused to comment but Marion, a four-times All-Star, has reportedly agreed to the trade.
The forward is averaging 15.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game this season.
Guard Marcus Banks is also poised to join the Heat as part of the deal.
