Shawn Marion not thinking about free agency at the moment
By Mike Dyce
The Dallas Mavericks are trying to find a way to bring back free agent Shawn Marion, but he is exploring options and entertaining offers. A decision won’t be coming for Marion any time soon, he told Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram said that Marion isn’t focused on Twitter but focusing on his new born son instead.

Certainly can’t fault Marion for taking that as his top priority, it certainly hasn’t diminished the market for the veteran who has had a long career .
The Mavericks added restricted free agent Chandler Parsons from the Houston Rockets, a move that could possibly push Marion out of Dallas. Marion praised the signing and addition of Parsons.
