C'mon Marion is nothing without the Canadian
Chad Ford was just on SportsCenter talking about KG. Apparently, Phoenix is higher on his wish list than L.A. is, and the Suns are trying to put a deal together. Because Kevin McHale is an idiot, he doesn't want Amare Stoudemire; he wants cap relief.So Ford was saying the Hawks could be involved.
Yeah, the Hawks really need another athletic-as-**** forward.
- Kevin Garnett to the Suns
- Shawn Marion to the Hawks
- Young guys, expiring contracts, and assorted riffraff to the T-Wolves
But yeah, if that happens, the Magic are ****ed. Playing against Marion four times a year?! **** that.![]()
WOW! Talk about Votlron.![]()
Stoudemire, Garnett, and Nash =
I mean, you've got two Hall of Famers right there, and a current top-5 center who's only 24 or so. Then you have Barbosa coming off the bench. What the ****. Seriously.
No kidding! Some one should step in, & stop this!

John Hollinger wrote a free article for ESPN Insider that basically says Kevin Durant is, by far, the best college player to enter the draft in the past five years. I love metrics.
I thought the whole reason he didn't pull the trigger on the Gasol deal in February was because he was going to pull out all the stops trying to get Garnett this summer. But he's staying quiet so far.![]()
There is only one thing left to do: Plan B.

One would have to be in order to nuke that Bulls team he had.

Talks with the Lakers have stopped for now. Current deal:
Boston will only make the deal if Marion agrees to sign an extension with them. If he okays that, the deal could be finished.
- Kevin Garnett to the Suns
- Shawn Marion to the Celtics
- The #5 draft pick, assorted riffraff to the Timberwolves
This would be interesting because we'd see
****in' a.
- Kevin Garnett joining Amare Stoudemire in the Suns' dunkfest of an offense. Seriously, how would Garnett not shoot above .700 on this team?
- Shawn Marion joining Al Jefferson in Boston's frontcourt, finally giving Paul Pierce actual TEAMMATES for once in his career. ****, didn't Pierce make the East finals with Antoine Walker and Walter McCarty as his best teammates?
Sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiit.
- The Timberwolves getting expiring contracts to make a play in free agency next summer, when Gilbert Arenas, Elton Brand, Jermaine O'Neal, and others may be available if they opt out of their deals. This IN ADDITION TO whomever they draft with the 5th and 7th picks.
Also, it's not mentioned in that article, but I figure I'd bring it up: the only Spurs players with contracts for the 2008/2009 season are Duncan (once he re-signs next summer; he won't opt out, although he could if he wanted), Parker, and Ginobili. That's it. They'll have enough room to sign a big kahuna if they wanted to.![]()
Why don't the Bulls slide into where the Celtics are, & at least get Marion? I don't get it! I just don't get it!
Wow I can totally see them go after someone like Brand!Also, it's not mentioned in that article, but I figure I'd bring it up: the only Spurs players with contracts for the 2008/2009 season are Duncan (once he re-signs next summer; he won't opt out, although he could if he wanted), Parker, and Ginobili.

Are the Timberwolves dumb enough to send Garnett to the Suns? He is still under contract with them right? Why would they send him to team that is in their division?
