Cirkus u NBA: Želimo Dilona; Da, šaljemo vam Maršona

Ova dva tima su u paketu sa Finiks Sansima pokušala da napravetrejk u kojem bi Trevor Ariza prešao iz Sansa u Vizardse, a Keli Ubre iz Vizardsa u Sanse.

Međutim, cela priča je propala jer su Sansi i Grizlisi komunicirali preko Vašingtona, koji nisu shvatili da Memfis nudi Maršona Bruksa, a ne njegovo prezimenjaka Dilona.

Nakon što su Finiks i Memfis konačno sutpili u direktan kontakt, shvatili su da je u pitanju Maršon, a ne Dilon, pa je kombinacija ova tri tima propala.

Napravili su toliki cirkus da su zbunili i najobaveštenije NBA novinare poput Adrijana Vojnarovskog.

"Jedan rivalski generalni menadžer mi je poslao poruku da bi možda Vašington mogao da u trejd uključi Skota Bruksa (trener, prim. aut), ako je već neophodno da neki Bruks bude u priči", preneo je jednu anegdotu iz ovog cirkusa Vojnarovski.

On je posle javio da Vašington i Finiks i dalje pregovaraju o potencijalnom trejdu u kojem bi Ariza napustio Arizonu i preselio se u DC.

Ariza je prošle sezone bio jedan od ključnih igrača Hjuston Rokitsa, a sa Sansima je potpisao jednogodišnji ugovor za 15 miliona dolara.

U međuvremenu, spekuliše se o još nekoliko potencijalnih trejdova, a najviše pažnje privlači potencijalni prelazak Demara Derozana iz San Antonija u Denver, Džona Vola iz Vašingtona u Njujork, Kembe Vokera iz Šarlota u Denver, te Markela Fulca iz Filadelfije u Finiks.

As part of a three-team deal nearing completion: Ariza to the Wizards, Kelly Oubre to the Memphis Grizzlies and Austin Rivers and two Grizzlies role players to Suns, league sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/1EmRCHrjOP

Clarify: MarShon Brooks, not Dillon.

Sources with @ZachLowe_NBA: Deal in jeopardy over which Brooks -- MarShon or Dillon -- the Suns believed it was getting in the trade. Memphis will not put Dillon Brooks in the trade, sources said.

Deal's suddenly in peril. Memphis and Phoenix didn't communicate directly on trade, using Washington as a conduit in coordinating the 3-team deal, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me. Grizzlies believe they were trading MarShon, but somehow Suns believed it was Dillon.

Memphis, Phoenix finally talked directly -- realized there was confusion on which Brooks was in deal -- and Memphis refuses to include MarShon over Dillon, league source tells ESPN. Grizzlies are out, so Suns/Wizards would need to do a deal directly or find a new 3rd team. https://t.co/YRcCOHJqUO

Washington believes it was told Dillon Brooks in conversations with Memphis. The Grizzlies insist they told Washington it was MarShon. One rival GM texted me and said: "Maybe Washington can put Scott Brooks in if there has to be a Brooks in the deal." Welcome to NBA Trade Season.

Wallace continued: "... our game tonight. We were floored to learn of the reports involving Dillon Brooks in the reported trade. We never discussed Dillon as part of this trade with Washington – which was the only team we spoke with concerning this proposed deal.” https://t.co/FAdhKu0Vgx
