Kevin Garnett went so far as to talk to Kobe Bryant about the two stars playing together on the Los Angeles Lakers. He might want to give Steve Nash a call.
ESPN's Jim Gray reported on Tuesday night that a league source said that the latest trade scenario has Garnett landing in Phoenix with the Suns.
Three teams are involved in these discussions, with the Suns getting Garnett, the Celtics picking up Phoenix forward Shawn Marion and the Wolves acquiring the fifth pick in Thursday's draft and players from Boston.
This development comes after ESPN's Ric Bucher reported earlier on Tuesday that talks between the Lakers and Wolves concerning Garnett had broken down. The Lakers had reportedly offered a package containing at least forward Lamar Odom and center Andrew Bynum.
The current trade is basically contingent on whether Marion would agree to a contract extension with the Celtics, Gray reported. Marion can opt out of his contract after the 2007-08 season. The Suns have spoken to Marion about the deal.
The Suns and Wolves spoke about a Garnett trade last week, and according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein, Marion told Phoenix that he would not want to play for Minnesota or Boston.
Sources have told Stein that Garnett and Nash have become good friends in recent years. Garnett, a 10-time All-Star, has told the Wolves that he wants to play for a warm weather team that has a legitimate chance to win the championship.
Garnett can also opt out of his contract after the coming season, prompting talks that the Timberwolves refused to entertain for years.
Jim Gray is a reporter for ESPN. Ric Bucher covers the NBA for ESPN The Magazine. Marc Stein is the senior NBA writer for ESPN.com. |

| That would be the most lopsided trade in nba history, next to Kwame for Caron Butler. |

| How do I know this? Simple. This trade is based on whether or not Shawn Marion is willing to sign a contract extension past 07 with the Boston Celtics. Problem with that? Marion doesn't even want to play with Boston. The Lakers - KG talks may have life after all. |

At this point, anythings up for grabs. We should offer whatever they want and rebuild after that. Not only do we need to do this to get KG, but we need to do this to keep KG from Phoenix. This has really gotten outta control. And not only that. But now that Paxton has said he has no intention on trading his core group for Kobe which will definetely piss Kobe off, what are we going to do if Phoenix gets KG now. Our options are pretty much limited. Unless the J.O. door isn't closed yet.
I don't know...

| yeah, he really doesnt, and i am not nervous at all because shawn marion holds that trump card and the suns are gonna have to hand over amare. but there is still a chance the boston/minnesota/phoenix trade could happen but not likely |

I don't think Phoenix cares whether or not KG fits into their running style. You change everything about your style when you can get a player like KG. Phoenix's style of play is the furthest thing from anyones mind as far as the GM's are concerned.
