New Orleans Pelicans Receive: G Chris Paul
Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time Chris Paul was a missing piece.
Prior to his arrival in Phoenix, the Suns were floundering. This team had spent several seasons near the bottom of the league’s standings. With that said, something began to click in 2019-20.
The young Suns won their last 8 games that year. From that point, the organization decided it was time to take a step forward. Acquiring Chris Paul from the Phoenix Suns certainly allowed them to do.
After all, the Suns reached the NBA Finals the following year. Last year, they didn’t fair quite as well in the playoffs, but they did lead the NBA’s regular season in wins with 64.

All told, it’s been the best run this organization has had since Charles Barkley led them to the Finals.
Could they really end it now?
