Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal

Of course, Kyrie Irving isn’t young on NBA standards. At 30, he’s got little room left to improve.

With that said, Chris Paul is 37. That’s ancient on NBA standards. Irving may be declining in three years, but Paul will likely be retired.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns’ core of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges are all comfortably on the right side of 30. They’re a talented core, but they run the risk of combustion following Paul’s decline.

This deal allows them to at least extend their shelf-life. Granted, they’ll be relying on Irving – always a risky proposition. With that said, if he’s willing to play basketball on a regular basis next year, the Suns may not skip a beat.
