Trevor Ariza pouts, Kelly Oubre promises punishment post-trade
Phoenix wins! Before either player has taken the court for their new teams, it already appears the Suns have won the trade that brings Kelly Oubre Jr. to Phoenix and sends Trevor Ariza to the Washington Wizards.

This week he complained to the Washington Post’s Candace Buckner that playing basketball in Phoenix was hard in a veiled introduction. “They were struggling a little bit, but couldn’t...

Report: Grizzlies to Sign Austin Rivers
Chris Wallace doing a little gambling here After the failed three way trade between the Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns, and Washington Wizards, now known as Brooks-gate, fell apart, it was clear the front office is just as frustrated with MarShon Brooks and Wayne Selden Jr. as the bloggers are. The radio stations got their fill of it on Monday and things began to die down from the fallout. The Wizards and Suns worked out their own deal swapping Trevor Ariza for Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers.

Report: Suns wanted Lakers’ Josh Hart in return for Trevor Ariza
Contrary to reports of owner Robert Sarver being unwilling to negotiate with LA, they wanted Hart in exchange for Ariza. After co-interim general manager James Jones bought out Tyson Chandler less than three weeks into the regular season so he could go join his hometown Los Angeles Lakers, many started to connect the dots with Jones’ deep connection to former teammate and good friend LeBron James. Well, we might have been on the verge of Jones helping out LeBron once more on December 15 by shipping Trevor Ariza there, but talks quickly broke off once Phoenix was insistent on including...
