I am struggling to understand this Ariza trade. Why for Phoenix. 

When it comes to Rivers. He will be an upgrade over Grant but I don't see him signing with us. He likely go back to LA.

Without more options Austin Rivers would give us a decent scorer for a playoff run. He can play off ball with Vuc being the one we run our offense through. If DJ gets more minutes with the 2nd unit it could boost bench scoring as well. It definitely isn’t ideal and not a huge upgrade to our current PG tandem but might give us a more balanced bench.

Is Rivers better than Jonathan Simmons? I'm not so sure

Valid question. I’d say his highs seems to be higher and more frequent than Simmons. I said it was less than ideal.

Rivers good at creating his own shot and at 3 pointers?

DJ is and could bring a lot of energy to the largely offensively stagnant 2nd unit. He is also a good passer.

He doesn't move the needle for me. For everything offensive his d is suspect
