Why This Trade Would Benefit The Phoenix Suns
For the Phoenix Suns, it is all about getting back to the postseason. There was a bad taste left in their mouth during the restart when they finished a perfect 8-0 in the preliminary games and still missed out on the postseason. This is a chance for the team to improve their roster in hopes of staying in the hunt.
Devin Booker is scoring 23.6 points per game while Paul is putting up 16.3 points and 8.1 assists per night. Along with Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges, the Suns feel like they have a roster that is ready to compete.
At 15-9, they are proving that to be true. This could push them towards being buyers at the NBA trade deadline and going for it right away. Harrison Barnes is resurrecting his career in Sacramento for a surging Kings team.
Harrison Barnes is a veteran player who wants to play for a contending team. Both Barnes and Glenn Robinson III would bring great things on both ends a team like the Suns. Between adding more shooting and defense, Phoenix would have no shortage of intriguing lineup combinations.
It is time that Devin Booker gets to the postseason. This is why they acquired Chris Paul and it is working out right away. Phoenix already appears well on their way of achieving this goal but why not make some noise while they’re there, too?
