Shawn Marion is sick of the trade rumors. So now he's making a trade request.
The forward told the Arizona Republic he wants out, saying "I'm tired of hearing my name in trades. I love my fans in Phoenix but I think it's time for me to move on."
There have been rumors swirling of a trade to the Jazz or the Lakers, while Marion has pushed the team for an extension of his current deal. He is the team's highest-paid player, due $16.4 million for this year and $17.8 million next.
He's said to have been seeking a three-year extension at $20 million per, but he says a conflict over an extension is only "part of why" he wants out.
"Regardless of everything that went on with the extension, I'm tired of hearing my name in trade rumors. It's time for me to move on. I felt like they tried to force my hand to Boston with the (Kevin) Garnett stuff," Marion told the paper.
There was reportedly a proposed three-way trade sending Garnett to Phoenix and Marion to Boston that Marion shot down over the summer.
So where would he like to go?
The Lakers look good to him.
"You have a great organization, great ownership there with the Lakers. I don't see no problems with playing there," Marion told The Sporting News.
