Mavs want to re-sign Marion, but with significant pay cut

From Mark Cuban on down, Shawn Marion is held in extremely high esteem by the Mavs. There is mutual interest in re-signing Marion, who turns 36 next week.

But he’d have to take a significant pay cut from his $9.3 million salary to stay in Dallas as the Mavs attempt to rebuild a championship roster around Dirk Nowitzki, the only other player remaining from the 2011 title roster.
