    Three way NBA trade cancelled because of stupidity.

    A three-team deal that would have sent Trevor Ariza to the Washington Wizards and Kelly Oubre to the Memphis Grizzlies is dead over which Brooks -- MarShon or Dillon -- the Phoenix Suns had believed they were getting, league sources said.

    Memphis would not put Dillon Brooks in the trade, sources said, leading to the agreement being called off.


    The Wizards had agreed in principle to acquire Ariza in the deal, league sources had told ESPN earlier Friday night.

    Washington would have sent Oubre to Memphis in the deal, sources said. The Suns would have acquird Wizards guard Austin Rivers and Grizzlies forwards MarShon Brooks and Wayne Selden. Memphis also would have sent Washington a 2020 second-round pick and a 2019 conditional second-round pick via Boston.

    The trade could not have been be finalized until Saturday, the first day that 2019 free agent signees become trade eligible.

    Suns have been a hot mess for a decade now when they last lost in the conference finals.
    They couldn't win a ring with Barkley, they couldn't win a ring with Steve Nash, come to think about it, the Suns have never won a ring which is mind boggling since they have the seventh best won-loss percentage (.535) in NBA history.

    Their owner Sarver is an idiot that fell ass backwards into his old man's money, who can't even male a decision on whether or not to hire his interim GM full time or not.

    Hot mess indeed.

    Stupidity is not not why it didnt get done. Its why it advanced so far in the first place.

    Dilkiom brooks is a recent draft pick they like.

    Marshon brooks has to be pushing 30 by now and has been at best a fringe NBA player his entire career.
