In today's Tribune paper, it was reported that Suns officials scoffed at the idea they would trade Marion, JJ, Voskhul, and their #1 for McGrady.

I couldn't find it on the Tribune online. Could you post a link? :D

I scoffed too, so it's nice to see the team is on the same page as I am. ;)

I really don't believe that the Phoenix Suns would trade both Shawn Marion and JJ for Tracy McGrady. I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm saying they wouldn't. Now if Orlando offered McGrady for Shawn Marion, the #7, and Jake Voskuhl they would have to get interested. I'm sure the magic could do better from a deep team like Indiana or Portland though.

I wonder if Orlando might be spreading some rummors, so they can get a feel of what teams will offer for TMAC.

I heard D'Antoni on the radio today. They kind of joked around about this latest McGrady rumor. He certainly made it sound like there is no way the Phoenix Suns would make that deal. However he did say that in their current situation they will probably get all sorts of offers and ideas floated their way. He said the majority of them will probably be ridiculous, but there will be some to consider.

He also said that he thought it was great that Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudemire will be joining the Olympic team. He said it will be good for Amare to be around guys like Tim Duncan and Jermaine O'Neal and even said that Larry Brown will help him. He said a little exhaustion later on is a small price to pay for the experience of representing their country in the Olympics.

I said the Suns needed a defense guru to teach technique. I guess they found a part time guy for the job. :thumbup:
