Marion trade rumors are unrealistic

No, Shawn Marion’s not going to Chicago for Tyson Chandler and the No. 2 pick in the draft. (Are Chandler and Amaré Stoudemire even speaking?)

No, The Matrix isn’t headed to Seattle with Leandro Barbosa for Rashard Lewis, the No. 10 pick and — get this — Danny Fortson. (Fortson was last seen suing Suns chairman Jerry Colangelo for calling him “a thug,” and now he’s going to be brought in to infect the Phoenix dressing room? Please.)

No, Marion’s not going to Miami for Dwyane Wade, straight up. OK, I made that one up myself for fun.

The other two “rumors?” They were being fanned by “knowledgable” Web sites and jumped on by more than one Valley television station.

Suns coach and general manager Mike D’Antoni was clear when he told reporters that Marion trade offers might come in and, legit or not, they would leak out after the Suns rejected them — which they would.

Of course if Pat Riley does call . . . hey, all bets are off.
