They call the Minnesota Timberwolves and say, “We’ll give you Shawn Marion, Kurt Thomas and other considerations for Garnett.” Not interested, the Timberwolves respond, but perhaps we can get the Boston Celtics to take Marion and we’ll get some of their younger players and draft picks. That doesn’t work out when Marion makes it clear he’ll opt out of his contract after next season if he’s dealt to Boston. Minnesota calls Phoenix back. “We’ll give you Garnett for Amar? Stoudemire.” The Suns say no, but an intrepid reporter (we really are intrepid) hears about the conversation and writes that the Suns and T-Wolves are discussing a Garnett-for-Stoudemire deal. Well, they did. But only for as long as it took for the Suns to say no. Here’s the truth: Stoudemire isn’t going anywhere. Not to Los Angeles for Kobe Bryant. Not to Minnesota for Garnett. </div> Source: East Valley Tribune
