Here’s Why The Suns Traded For Chris Paul

The Suns completed a trade today to bring Thunder guard Chris Paul to the squad, trading him for Ricky Rubio and Kelly Oubre. The Suns had a great showing in the bubble where they went 8-0 but there are still issues with the lack of playoff experience on this team, and that is where Chris Paul will thrive.

Paul will also allow Devin Booker to play off the ball and become a true superstar when he can just catch and shoot without using all his energy trying to create something from nothing. Then there is DeAndre Ayton who came into his own last season and will only get better with CP3 feeding him easy baskets.

The Suns are definitely in the middle of the pack out West now.

Here are the terms of the deal we know so far:

OKC has traded Chris Paul to Phoenix for Ricky Rubio, Kelly Oubre, Ty Jerome, Jalen Lecque and draft compensation.
