Should Chris Paul be traded? Suns and Clippers express keen interest in Thunder guard ahead of new season
Chris Paul for the Phoenix Suns? The trade is a possibility. As the NBA 2020-21 season looms large, trades and acquisitions will take the attention and one of them is about the Suns expressing a keen interest in roping in the veteran Oklahoma City Guard. The side has been involved in high-name trades in the past and according to ESPN, while there is no imminent deal at the moment, the talks between both sides are on.
Paul is known for that scintillating gameplay he brings in at clutch moments. One of the highlights in the previous season where their playoff encounter against the Houston Rockets showcased his brilliance. It wasn't just the shots Paul took in their first playoff round Game 6 against James Harden & Co.
Fifteen of his 28 points came in the fourth quarter, including eight of the Thunder's final 12. Adding to this was Paul calling the play and expertly guiding his team through the Rockets defense. Ideally, Dennis Schroder should have capitalized on the shots early on, but with the Rockets on a narrow lead, Paul's ploy was to just close the gap and rely on their three-pointer success formula to take the Thunder home.
