Paul is in his first season with the Suns, but what a difference he s made.
After leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 44-28 record and a playoff berth last season, the Suns acquired the 36-year-old veteran in a trade for Ricky Rubio, Kelly Oubre, Ty Jerome, Jalen Lecque and a 2022 first-round pick.
Once seen as an unmovable piece given his monster contract, Paul has been traded twice in two years, having a huge impact in both years.
In his 16th season, Paul has found the perfect fit in Phoenix, alongside an energetic crew of young players, providing savvy experience and late-game execution, stepping up in their closeout game in the Western Conference Finals with 41 points and eight assists.

Wolves gonna be Wolves, some of you lamented.
Why didn t the Wolves tank, you wondered.
Way to screw up a chance at Jalen Suggs, you charged.
I m not sure how their intentions didn t sink in during the final weeks of the season, when the Wolves made it clear they wanted to win as many games as possible. D Angelo Russell was finally healthy and was able to play with Karl-Anthony Towns for an extended run. Wolves major-domo Gersson Rosas wanted to see how the roster he rebuilt looked with key players available.
Other than Malik Beasley, they were healthy down the stretch. They went 7-5 over their final 12 games and passed teams like Detroit and Orlando that were in free fall after making white flag trades at the deadline. The Wolves finished with the seventh pick and had to send it to the Warriors to complete the Andrew Wiggins trade. Since they also dealt their second-round pick, the Wolves will sit this draft out unless they trade Beasley, perhaps for a pick.
