It was a done deal. They even had the PRESS RELEASE DRAFTED.
I love Marion, but god dang...
Towards the end of it, the Suns were being asked to move Amar'e Stoudemire in a deal for KG, not Shawn Marion. At the time, STAT for KG wasn't as clear-cut as it is now...Obviously the Suns FO (and pretty much everyone) was enamored with Amar'e's potential--Unfortunately Amar'e's game isn't as epic as anticipated.
No, rsavaj is right.
Though it did turn into an Amare/Garnett thing when the media caught wind, the original deal was Marion for Garnett.
But that's getting off topic.
Comparing Johnson to Nash is like comparing Rose to Paul. I mean, you can do it... but why would you? In the second, clearly Paul is a better true PG and Rose the better "combo" guard. Same applies to Johnson and Nash for me.
I don't understand the problem in saying that each was the best the Suns have had in each regard.
