Chris Paul can be said to be the key to the outstanding performance of Sun in the past few seasons, but this sun seems to have reached the edge of the understanding.
So if the Suns eventually disintegrate, which team should Chris Paul join and continue to strive for his first championship trophy in his career? The advice given by US media James Pilsey is that Lakers can try to promote transactions involving Paul :
Suns get: Russell Westbrook , 2027 first-round draft pick, 2029 first-round draft pick
Lakers get: Chris Paul, Jie Claude
As we all know, as early as the Kobe era, the Lakers were infinitely close to getting Paul, but the league finally rejected the deal and asked Paul to join Clippers .
So in this deal, the Lakers exchanged two players, Chris Paul and Jay Crowder with Westbrook and two first-round draft picks, which also means that Paul can join forces with LeBron James and Anthony Davis . To be honest, this may be a move that brings the Lakers closer to the championship trophy.
Jie Claude is also a player who has performed well on both offense and defense. His outstanding performance in the past few seasons has indeed helped the Suns a lot. What's more, the Lakers can get rid of Westbrook's contract in this deal, which is also the move the Lakers have been hoping to try this past offseason.
If the Lakers can convince the Suns to push such a deal, they may indeed become a team with real championship strength in the new season.
