Trevor Ariza
After what proved to be a wild night of trade talks involving the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies, it seemed a three-team deal was done Friday. Unfortunately, a bit of miscommunication led to the entire deal falling apart. After Trevor Ariza was set to head to the Wizards, things stalled and everything took a step back. Fortunately, that changed again on Saturday as Washington and Phoenix were able to get a deal done.
As The Athletic’s Shams Charania revealed, the Suns are sending Ariza to the Wizards in exchange for Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers.

This is somewhat similar to the deal originally reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. That one also included Ariza going to the Wizards but had Kelly Oubre going to the Memphis Grizzlies and Austin Rivers, MarShon/Dillon Brooks (that was the confusion) and Wayne Selden heading to the Suns.
