NEW YORK — Sorry, but no Shawn Marion column today, as advertised, on the grounds one and all insisted on anonymity with regards to his debatable trade for Shaquille O'Neal.

Don't misunderstand; there's no moratorium on accepting info about trades or free agent signings or coaching changes without attribution.
