I suppose there's no way we'll see him in a Suns uniform tonight.

ESPN thinks they may flip Oubre. I've never been much of a Rivers fan, so I don't see him as anything more than a throw-in player to make the numbers match up.
Thinking they were going to get a good, young player for Ariza was loonacy, this is a decent deal which becomes better if they trade Oubre to fill a hole at PG or PF.

Oubre can be traded in a 1 for 1 deal anytime. Don’t think he can be a part of a multi player trade before the deadline.

At least Rivers has something in common with Steve Nash:

Flip Oubre? Sure, but it needs to be for a 1stR. Would NOP give up their pick lotto protected?

Re: Suns trade Ariza to Wizards - for real.
Ok I’ve chilled out now from my initial reaction and reflected on some positives. Watched some highlights read some articles.
Here’s my take so far with Austin Rivers:
Pros
-is a good defender who plays with a large chip on his shoulder.
-he’s in a contract year and needs to get back to where he was last year hanging 15ppg, over 2 3s per game.
-we keep flexibility for free agency and draft picks.
-Rivers is better than any PG on our team. He’s better passing to bigs than any of our point guards.
-he plays with a lot of fight and hit big shots.
-he penetrates and gets to the cup
-he’ll be a better ballahmdler on the team. Killer crossover.
-creates his own shots.
-his play in Washington is skewed to a bad team culture
-Crawford likes him.
Cons are:
-probably an assh@le teammate. Arrogant, Ron artest kinda player.
-streaky and can take bad shots
-not elite playmaker

We sucked before this trade, and we will suck after this trade.
