Sources have told ESPN.com that the Phoenix Suns are close to dealing Shawn Marion to the Miami Heat for star center Shaquille O'Neal.

The Suns just need to give the OK and Shaq will be on his way to Phoenix. Marion had demanded the Suns for a trade in the offseason.

"The process is in play, and that's all I really can say because things have backed up before," Heat head coach Pat Riley said Wednesday. "Nothing's been completed, and that's where it's at right now."

ESPN's Rich Bucher reported Tuesday that O'Neal is scheduled to undergo a physical Wednesday in Phoenix.
