It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

but to trade him for .75 years of ariza when you’re at best going to be ritually sacrificed in the first round.......

Washington, Phoenix and Memphis have agreed in principle on deal that will also include Wayne Selden and Dillon Brooks headed to Suns, and a 2020 Grizzlies second-round pick and a conditional 2019 second-rounder to Washington, league sources tell ESPN.

griz got oubre for nothin?

the suns traded for marshon brooks ???

Feel like they're obliged to do all they can to make the Wall Beal thing work before letting it die. I just can't wait to see how gruneld will still have a job at the end of all this

More of a rhetorical statement, but tbh bummer trade.

Are the Wiz allowed to shop Ariza before the trade deadline?

think they can but not as part of a package deal

He’s such an obvious tradebait for an easy 1st rounder for some desperate playoff team, sucks Suns didn’t pick that up from someone.

griz got oubre for nothin?

to me oubre isn't that valuable bcuz i'm not sure i wanna see what that next contract looks like... but for the suns it's like, what else are they doing with their money? if i was memphis i'd rather have just gotten ariza myself but maybe the suns really just wanted austin rivers

feel like oubre cld be got for a reasonable price, doesnt really have star potential but cld be a super solid starter

bro why do u even care my god

Per source, Suns owner Robert Sarver was adamant that he would not send Trevor Ariza to the Lakers, so Phoenix pivoted to other options. Wizards desperate for toughness/defensive grit, and would have had difficulty re-signing Oubre next summer.

forgot the nuggs have michael porter

it would be a thin line for me... he's not really ever been that good

LOL @ sarver that's really funny

raps offense looks really disjointed w/o lowry tonight

steve adams taking it to jokics grill

lol whats goin on here

Suns expert @Gambo987 insists Phoenix is getting Dillon Brooks. Memphis dignitary @HerringtonNBA says it's MarShon Brooks. Ariza isn't even trade-eligible for 83 more minutes. #thisleague https://t.co/fQJSQx5Epw

dillon brooks far more sense. why would the suns want marshon aside from it being the most nonsensical thing they could possibly do

wow this is a classic nba how the fuck did they come up with that trade

like try explaining this one to any casual fan anywhere

Swaggy era begins

There is no better scenario than the deal falling apart because the GM's disagreed on which Brooks was in the deal. https://t.co/1v0EekBtIE

lol yeah both sides were just talking about brooks

Omg swaggy nation

oh god it's scott brooks isn't it https://t.co/Gxgi4pa5YJ

noticed the other day scotty isnt wearing his glasses anymore so hes not smart now

jfc its true

Sources with @ZachLowe_NBA: Deal in jeopardy over which Brooks -- MarShon or Dillon -- the Suns believed it was getting in the trade. Memphis will not put Dillon Brooks in the trade, sources said.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 15, 2018

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Haha amazing

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

incredible

love that ariza didn't make it to the lakers

Well he might still lmao

sarver simply wont allow it (also doesnt know which players he just traded for)

Deal's suddenly in peril. Memphis and Phoenix didn't communicate directly on trade, using Washington as a conduit in coordinating the 3-team deal, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me. Grizzlies believe they were trading MarShon, but somehow Suns believed it was Dillon.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 15, 2018

Let someone else do the trade talks for us, very normal organization

including dillon brooks seemed really weird, he's 22 and doesn't suck

The deal is dead, league source tells ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 15, 2018

this rules

What is this, the Rachel Maddow show? Looks like the clown show isn’t just in Washington

Fin lol

THIS TRADE DIDNT EVEN LAST AN HOUR

hahahahah amazing

what a ride

Bravo!

kawhi is having the worst game of his life tonight btw and is getting owned repeatedly by evan turner so maybe it is just opposite day

ernie grunfeld's most incredible feat yet?

Yeah, this is my preferred narrative

Basically, Ernie Grunfeld tried orchestrating a three-team trade and had no idea the Grizzlies had two players named Brooks on their roster.

Goodnight.

— Ben Mehic (@BenMehicNBA) December 15, 2018

gotta look up the roster online before u do a deal

so now i wanna know who ernie grunfeld thought was in the trade
