Once there were reports about the Phoenix Suns looking to trade Trevor Ariza, the Los Angeles Lakers were quickly added to the teams who were interested.
Ariza could not be moved until Dec. 15 when players who recently signed a new deal in free agency could finally be traded. However, it seemed as if talks between the Lakers and Suns did not go anywhere when the time came.
The Suns then looked ready to send the 33-year-old to the Washington Wizards in a three-team trade with the Memphis Grizzlies until the deal fell apart due to miscommunication.
