Suns get Garnett
Wolves get #5 and players from Boston
Celtics get Marion

Uh, only about two hundred times.

This is the same deal discussed a few days ago in which Marion said he didn't want to go to Boston. Unless that has changed, this is an old story.

Where did he report this? Please cite if possible.

 

[Alan]

ESPNews.

It sounded new. Sorry.

 

[mribnik]

I wonder if Ainge is willing to call Marion's bluff in order to please Pierce. I don't remember anybody having any problems with that deal except Marion.

Edit: Just heard this same trade again on ESPN's 30 at 30 update. Guess this trade was brought back up.

Well it may be new, if he said this is the current trade being discussed with all parties. New in the sense so many deals have been talked about as the "current" deal.

 

[Alan]

ESPNews is calling it "breaking news".

Other message boards are saying Gray said "serious talk" and it is contingent on Marion signing an extenstion with Boston. Thus I have little faith it will happen, as it is shawn marion's destiny to screw us (sorry chris sanders, I'm just compelled to say it).

 

[Alan]

Jim Gray on right now ...

Says Marion was informed of deal by the Suns today. But it's contigent on Marion and his agent accepting a contract extension.

Kurt Thomas might be involved.

lmao, that just can't be.

Marion, KT and Banks for KG? No freaking way.

Well, we've suspected that for a while, but if someone "real" is actually using "Marion," "Boston," and "extension" in the same sentence, then maybe we've made another step forward.

COME ON, MARION, FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!

 

[hsandhu]

Do you people realize how nervous I am right now, shawn marion I beg you... Ok calmed down a little, knowing our history Marion not accepting this extension

 

[82CardsGrad]

What in the world are the Celtics thinking????

 

[mribnik]

What's the over/under on how many pages this thread goes?

If shawn marion screws us, until he retires...

LOL!

I'm guessing it will depend on if/when they give him an opt-out in the contract. If he can get one fairly early with the extension, he MAY do it.

Do it Marion. Do it

 

[Cheesebeef]

my guess is Shawn Marion, once again, ends up being a HUGE reason the Suns don't win a chip (which is all but guaranteed should this deal go thru).

face it Shawn - THE SUNS DON'T LIKE YOU AS MUCH AS YOU WANT THEM TO - GO SOMEWHERE WHERE A TEAM DOES YOU MAROON!
