05:16 AM ET 02.13 | Bryan Colangelo arrived in his old stomping grounds a marked man, someone who'll be very popular with his fellow NBA general managers during this weekend's all-star festivities in Phoenix. Colangelo will most likely seek out whoever is in Phoenix representing the Miami Heat to discuss the still-alive talks involving Jermaine O'Neal and Shawn Marion. With the deadline coming right up against them, the sides will have to determine whether the financial and on-court implications can be hurdled. The two teams have traded medical records on the key players involved and there have been unconfirmed reports O'Neal has been examined in person by members of Miami's medical staff. The possibility of an O'Neal trade seems to be the only serious one the Raptors are investigating, although things tend to heat up over the all-star weekend and on the final three days before the deadline. It's not as if Colangelo is dealing from strength in any other discussions that are sure to come up. He's been adamant that he's not entertaining offers for Chris Bosh, who he keeps referring to as the "cornerstone" of the franchise and it's a virtual certainty that he won't be talking about Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani.
