1. Chris Paul, Oklahoma City Thunder
What a season it was for the Oklahoma City Thunder. There was no mind in the NBA world that thought this team could contend for the postseason, let alone grab the 5th seed in the Western Conference. Once they traded Russell Westbrook and Paul George, the team was expected to tank but then came Chris Paul.
The veteran point guard turned in an All-Star season for the Thunder. He will undoubtedly have interest on the trading block. Oklahoma City is looking to build for the future and Paul does not help with his age and salary.
Paul is owed $41.4 million next season and upwards of $44 million in 2021-22. this puts his future with the Thunder in jeopardy but it would not be difficult for Oklahoma City Thunder to find a partner. Perhaps the Knicks might actually pull the trigger on a deal.
Paul proved that he is still capable of leading a team and playing at a high-level. His mid-range game and ability in the lane has not changed one bit. Paul will be a huge get for one team this offseason.
