Phoenix GM Steve Kerr admitted the Suns and T-Wolves have and are talking about a deal to bring Minnesota?s 10-time All-Star to Phoenix. But the chances of getting anything accomplished are somewhere between slim and none.

?As far as KG, specifically, it?s tough because of the contract,? said Kerr referring to the nearly $50 million Garnett would be due in salary ($44 million) and partial trade kickers ($3.3 million) over the next two years. ?As soon as I looked at the financial part, I gagged and choked a little bit.?

Kerr might not have to worry, since the two sides appear at a stalemate when it comes to the main piece the Suns would have to offer for Garnett.

Multiple sources say the Timberwolves would insist on getting Stoudemire in any deal. Minnesota has no interest in Shawn Marion, who like Garnett can opt out of his contract next season and become a free agent. Marion has already let it be known that he wouldn?t consider staying in Minnesota for the long term.
