For the record, several sources told me that the Wiz and Suns have never talked about a Antawn Jamison for Shawn Marion deal and my colleague covering the Suns, Paul Coro, said the same thing. If such talks did occur, I can't figure how that would make sense for Phoenix. Word is that the Suns want to trim salary and stay under the luxury tax but Jamison makes the same amount as Marion and, why would the Suns mess with a team that has been so successful? They may have been a Robert Horry hip check away from a title. Marion is a better defender than Antawn and I don't see him performing as well with a shoot-first PG like Gilbert as he has with a pass-first guy like Steve Nash.
