A potential three-team trade involving Trevor Ariza is considered dead after the Phoenix Suns mistakenly thought they would receive Dillon Brooks instead of MarShon Brooks from the Memphis Grizzlies. 

The framework for the original deal involved Trevor Ariza going to the Wizards, Kelly Oubre going to the Grizzlies, and Austin Rivers, Wayne Selden, and MarShon Brooks heading to the Suns.

But the Suns wanted Dillon Brooks instead of MarShon Brooks. Memphis then called off the deal.

The confusion happened due to the Wizards brokering the deal between them, the Suns, and the Grizzlies. Grizzlies and Suns officials never communicated directly until the trade was almost finalized, leading to the confusion.

The Suns and Wizards are still interested in a deal involving Ariza and are searching for a third team.
