Why Marion wanted out of Phoenix

kcudah posted 3/3/2008 from nypost.com

The Celtics reached out for Shawn Marion before Kevin Garnett, but supposedly got scared off when a three-year extension for $45M was rebuffed by agent Dan Fegan. Truth is, Danny Ainge never made a formal offer to the Suns (for Marion) or Fegan, who had been talking to Phoenix about a $17M per extension. Truth is, Marion did not want to leave the Suns at that time
