Not sure the trade they ended up with is much better. Oubre is a poor fit for their roster and they can move him, but he can't be packaged with another player now. He's also a restricted free agent at the end of the year.
I feel like a trade like this should have been the floor for what they could have gotten for Ariza. And there's always a chance a contender would have panicked closer to the deadline and tossed a 2nd in for a similar deal.
This trade comes down to what they can flip Oubre for.
