Update: Garnett has killed a proposed trade between Boston and Minnesota because he doesn't want to play for the Celtics, ESPN reports. "If a trade were to happen, that's not a destination that we're interested in pursuing," said Garnett's agent, Andy Miller.
Recommendation: According to the report, the T-Wolves and Celtics had agreed on a trade that would send Garnett and Troy Hudson to Boston for Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair, Wally Szczerbiak and the No. 5 pick in Thursday's draft. While Garnett can't block a deal, Boston didn't want to complete the trade if Garnett wouldn't agree to a contract extension that would void his ability to opt out of his contract at the end of next season. The report also says Garnett would like to be traded to Phoenix if he's moved and that GM Kevin McHale and owner Glen Taylor are prepared to deal Garnett this offseason. For the first time it sounds like a trade of Garnett may actually happen, so stay tuned.
IF KG GOES PHX.. man.. i don't wana think about it..

lots of threads about it in nba forum
NBA Forum
They'd have to give up too much for KG. I don't believe it will happen.
KG for Kobe
If the Suns parted w/Amare, that would be a dumb move in my opinion. Amare can still improve. Garnett hasn't proven anything yet and is 31.
and then add marion and maybe barbosa
and what has nash proved
he can not even with that loaded suns team get that team to the finals
kg did not cost the wolves 5 draft picks
had thy had thm they could have picked josh howard and lot of other good players
Amare's not going anywhere. It's Marion, picks, and a third team or no deal.
why would any team want Marion?
Nash has done a lot, but just like Garnett, he hasn't won a ring and is old too. If the Suns want to win now, they will do it, but I don't Garnett is enough to take them to the top.
One writer's compelling view as to why this trade WILL NOT go down.

Brownie Points: Garnett too rich for Suns’ taste
Jerry Brown, Tribune Columnist
So Kevin Garnett doesn’t want to go to Boston — but he certainly wouldn’t mind coming to the Suns. And what part of all this is surprising?
Did you see Boston on Kobe Bryant’s list of preferred destinations? Think Jermaine O’Neal would be hyped at going to Beantown? Shawn Marion has reportedly let it be known that if he’s dealt to Boston, he’d opt out of his deal.
Why would “The Big Ticket’’ be any different?
The Suns already knew Garnett loves Phoenix. It’s a shot at a ring and a chance to play with fast friend Steve Nash while escaping the nightmare that is Minnesota.
After that, things get hazy.
• The T-Wolves don’t want Marion (Marion doesn’t want the T-Wolves either). Nash isn’t going anywhere, leaving Amaré Stoudemire as the focal point of a deal including draft picks and expiring contracts (Kurt Thomas) to match the $22 million owed Garnett next year.
• Garnett is 31, with 12 years and plenty of NBA miles on his body. But when Nash was 31 and 32, he was MVP of the league.
• Stoudemire is 24 and an All-NBA center with his best days ahead. But he’s coming off microfracture surgery that will require more work later and isn’t the most popular player in his locker room (remember Nash’s “playpen” quote during the playoffs)?
• With Nash (33), Garnett (31) and Marion (29), suddenly Phoenix is a much older team. But when Nash runs out of steam, the Suns will have to rebuild anyway, right?
Alas, as usual, it all comes down to money. And for Phoenix, it just doesn’t work.
If the Suns traded Stoudemire and Thomas for Garnett (an even swap, money-wise) they would still sit $8 million to $9 million over the luxury tax. Now add in the fact that Garnett has a $3.3 million trade kicker (leaving him owed, gulp, $25.3 million next year) and Phoenix would be $12 million over the dollar-for-dollar tax with Thomas already gone.
Think Robert Sarver is going to go for that one? Me neither.
marion has said NO to wolves
Garnett's gonna have to take a major pay cut and come to the Spurs if he wants a ring. We'll give the T-Wolves Beno, the Scola rights, Vaughn, Barry, Horry, Buford, Holt's wife, those two guys that never play, the Coyote, etc.
why does everyone keep forgetting amare has had 2 operations already
Marion would not be enough for the T-Wolves.
The general consensus among Spur fans seems to be this deal won't happen.
This article doesn't address the 3-way Marion/Boston trade rumors currently going round.
Like someone said earlier...Garnett might as well go to the East..he's not getting anywhere if he stays in the West. At least with the East, as Lebron has proven, one man can carry a team to the Finals. I'm sure he could carry Boston to the Finals.
what about a LeBron-KG duo?
And how exactly is the 3 way deal going to work? From Minnesota's perspective, if they don't like Marion (and in my opinion - they shouldn't, at least not for KG), they'd need Jefferson - and parts - from Boston. But I don't see any way that Boston would give up Jefferson in that deal unless they get KG.
Now, maybe Marion (from the Suns) + the #5 pick (from Boston) + filler is enough to entice the Wolves. In my opinion, it shouldn't be, but even if it is - who does phoenix send to Boston worthy of the #5 pick?
The only way you can get KG straight up with the wolves is to count on the idiocy of McHale. The only way you can get him through a 3 way deal is to count on the idiocy of McHale + Ainge. Now, I admit that this is not necessarily a bad strategy, but it makes like for message board discussion.
sorry if this is mentioned in the NBA forum. Didnt scan the nba forum before the thread.. jus the spurs forum i got too much jitters from the thought of kg for marion (tho it seems its not working)
That deal is already dead.
Phoenix has until Thursday to find another team willing to take Marion as part of a three-way deal, make the deal for Amare + Thomas + the 2008 Atlanta pick, or walk away.
