The Phoenix Suns have engaged trade talks with the Oklahoma City Thunder for Chris Paul.<\/p>\n

Per ESPN<\/a>, 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\u2019s draft next week.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Paul has two years and $85.5 million left on his contract, which is a motivation for the rebuilding Thunder to consider trading him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
