Oklahoma Thunder point guard Chris Paul is ditching tornado alley in favor of the valley. Early Monday afternoon, the All-Star point guard was traded to the Phoenix Suns in a swap that included six players. Along with Paul, Abdel Nader was also acquired by the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, Ty Jerome, Jalen Lecque, and a 2022 first-round pick.
Paul's arrival puts the Suns in a position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2010. The trade was the first in a week that’s expected to be full of them leading up to Wednesday night’s NBA Draft. The guard’s arrival keeps the Suns' core intact, which went a perfect 8-0 in the Orlando Bubble. According to SportsLine, a sports scientific data outfit, the Suns' chances of making the playoffs jumped up from 36.8 percent to 73.8 percent with the move.
"He is the kind of guy that changes organizations," Suns head coach Monty Williams said in January, before the Suns-Thunder game. "Everywhere he has gone, he has made everybody better. That is just who Chris is."
According to The Ringer, “After reestablishing himself with the Thunder, the Hall of Fame point guard will now be tasked with leveling up Devin Booker and a young Suns core in what will likely be the last best run of his career”
