Suns had discussions with Thunder about acquiring Chris Paul
Talks have been ongoing and have continued to gather traction, but there is no deal imminent
The Phoenix Suns have engaged trade talks with the Oklahoma City Thunder for Chris Paul.
Per ESPN, Talks have been ongoing and have continued to gather traction, but there is no deal imminent, sources said. There is currently a moratorium on trades as the NBA goes through procedures to start next season ahead of the league’s draft next week.
The Suns could have in excess of $20 million in salary-cap space going into the transaction season, leaving the possibility that they could assemble a trade and still look for other free agents.
Paul has two years and $85.5 million left on his contract, which is a motivation for the rebuilding Thunder to consider trading him.
