Would this trade make sense for the Phoenix Suns?
The Phoenix Suns are a win-now team, and that is extremely obvious. They are coming off a loss in the NBA Finals, where they struggled to keep up with the Milwaukee Bucks. Now that the front office has built a winner, they can continue adding depth and veteran players to help win moving forward.
The addition of Paul made all the difference for the Suns last season. He was the leader on and off the floor that the team needed to take the next step.
Now that Paul is signed for four more years, it means the core will be together moving forward in hopes of winning a championship. Barnes is a veteran who spent time with the Golden State Warriors and knows how to win.
He put up a strong statistical season in 2020 and will be even better with a point guard like Paul. Barnes would not have to do too much in the offense, which takes the pressure off his shoulders.

Phoenix has one of the best scorers with Booker and an elite, young big man with Ayton. As long as Paul is at the top of the offense, the Suns will be contending moving forward.
