Nope.  Marion's contract would be an albatross for a team trying to rebuild.

Marion's contract is for $8.4 million in 2012-2013 and $9 million in 2013-2014 if he doesn't use his early termination option.  It's not an albatross for a rebuilding team that doesn't expect to be a serious contender for a couple of years. 

He's a better player than Joe Johnson for half the money.

With Dallas possibly wanting to clear cap space to make a run at Dwight Howard, if D12 doesn't want to come to Boston and you like Shawn Marion, it's possible a team with cap space could acquire Marion in the off-season for a deal similar to how the Lakers traded Lamar Odom.

Would you?
Trade Allen for a bag of horse dung? No, not really.

If Boston traded Allen, it would be for a young player or picks with only expirings coming back.

Although he costs half as much as Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion is not as good as Joe Johnson.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

No way.  I'd want Mahinmi and Beaubois in any trade with Dallas.

If Dallas were willing to do:

Ray + JO + Bass

for

Marion + Odom + Beaubois + Mahinmi

I'd do it.

I would even consider it if they took out Beaubois and threw in a 1st round pick instead.
