Way back in February, the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies had a game end with a messy altercation between Troy Daniels and Devin Booker. It resulted in Alex Len leaving the bench, fines and a suspension.

Following the game, Devin Booker openly criticized Daniels career in the NBA saying he can’t talk trash because he’s been on five teams in three years.

Fast forward to September of 2017, just a few days before Suns media day and the Suns are looking for some help following an injury to a rotation player. Phoenix has now acquired Daniels from the Grizzlies in a trade. Suns training camp should be slightly interesting.
