Question: The 2007–08 Phoenix Suns season was their 40th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), Shawn Dwayne Marion, a four-time All-Star basketball player, was traded midseason to the Miami Heat, for which big man player?

The 1996–97 NBA season was the Mavericks' 17th season in the National Basketball Association.  In the offseason, the Mavericks signed free agent Chris Gatling and acquired Eric Montross from the Boston Celtics.  With new head coach Jim Cleamons and re-signing former Mavs guard Derek Harper, the Mavericks struggles continued with a 4–10 start in November.  With the team not showing any improvement, they traded All-Star guard Jason Kidd to the Phoenix Suns for second-year star Michael Finley, Sam Cassell and A.C. Green in late December.  Gatling led the Mavericks with 19.1 points per game off the bench, and was selected for the 1997 NBA All-Star Game.  At midseason, he was traded along with Cassell, Montross, Jim Jackson and George McCloud to the New Jersey Nets for Shawn Bradley, Robert Pack and Khalid Reeves.  Meanwhile, Jamal Mashburn was dealt to the Miami Heat for Sasha Danilovic. <SEP> The 2014–15 Phoenix Suns season is the 47th season of the franchise in the NBA.  It is also the last season when the arena would be named the US Airways Center, before it is renamed Talking Stick Resort Arena beginning in October 2015.  With Channing Frye and Leandro Barbosa leaving in free agency and Goran Dragić being traded to the Miami Heat near the end of the trade deadline, no other player on the team had made the playoffs with the organization in previous years now.  The Suns were in playoff contention for much of the season but suffered in the final weeks, partly due to injuries involving Brandon Knight and later Alex Len, and partly due to the amount of players added and taken away during the trade deadline.  The Suns capped off the 2014–15 NBA season with five consecutive losses and losing 10 out of 11 games total (the worst season-ending stretch since its inaugural season), finishing 3rd place in Pacific division and 10th place in Western Conference with a 39-43 record.  The Suns did not qualify for the playoffs for the fifth straight year, which currently ties the stretch from the 1970–71 to 1974–75 seasons as the team's longest playoff drought. <SEP> The 2007–08 Phoenix Suns season was their 40th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The season was seen as the end of the "Seven Seconds or Less" era, after four-time All-Star Shawn Marion was traded midseason to the Miami Heat for big man Shaquille O'Neal.  The Suns failed to advance past the first round of the playoffs for the first time since re-signing Steve Nash in 2004, leading to the departure of head coach Mike D'Antoni. <SEP> Shawn Dwayne Marion (born May 7, 1978) is an American retired professional basketball player who played 16 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  Nicknamed "The Matrix" by TNT analyst Kenny Smith during the pre-season of his rookie year, he was widely regarded as one of the most versatile players in the league because of his athleticism and ability to play and defend many positions.  He was also known for his unorthodox shooting form.  In a career that spanned five teams, Marion earned NBA All-Star honors four times and won an NBA championship in 2011.
