It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I’m, of course, talking about the NBA trade rumors season, which unofficially started on Saturday, when trade restrictions were lifted on almost every player that signed a contract with a team this summer, and what a start it was.
To make a long story short, a three-team trade between the Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies centered around Trevor Ariza fell apart because the Suns were confused about which “Brooks” they were getting back in the trade. Just in case that wasn’t clear, a trade in the National Basketball Association was called off because two players on the same team had the same last name and two general managers mixed them up.
