Maybe wizards told us Dillon and told Memphis Marshon. Hoped one of us would sign off on the deal without checking, haha

It wasn't just Gambo. Woj reported the same thing 4 minutes after Gambo did:

Wow
I just woke up from sleeping and catching up on my fantasy news then saw Suns trending and was like
uh oh...
Saw Rivers and was like geeez so going through all those tweets in just a few minutes of us getting roasted and then the Brooks fiasco to then deal being dead.....
I was trying to figure out if I was still sleeping. I found the whole thing so confusing with the other two teams involved
Weird stuff all around but yea another embarrassment for us smh

Looks like the mixup was between Memphis and Washington. Somehow it wasn’t our front office.

Might very well be but perception is everything and with our current reputation nobody is gonna give us the benefit of the doubt

True. Most people will think we screwed it up, even with Woj reporting otherwise. Oh well.

Ariza probably been chilling waiting on the phone call but the other side of things was Wizards had a game so were together for the news

I don't know...is it standard practice to not communicate directly with the third team? Or is that on our rookie front office?

Great. Well, should I feel happy that this stupid deal fell through, or depressed that our front office was dumb enough to negotiate this badly in the first place? Probably both. What a turd sandwich. I miss McDo. Actually, I miss JC and BC.

Yes, if only we could go back to Jerry and Bryan.

Oh my goodness, were the Wizards and Grizzlies both trying to trick the Suns and hoped they wouldn't notice?

Griff was saying on NBA TV that it wouldn’t be the first time a bait and switch was attempted.

If Gambo is right, this is either the grizzlies and/or wizards trying to pull a fast one or the grizzlies got cold feet and claimed they thought it was marshon the whole time to make it fall through.

This is such a joke. I don't care whose fault it is, we just keep looking worse and worse.
I did think Washington would be an ideal partner for us and was hoping for either Satoransky or Rivers. Both can take the load off Booker at PG. As for Marshon or Dillon....I like Dillon as an all around swing but Marshon can score with the best of them.

The Suns don't even know how to trade right. This. Is. Amazing.
