Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal
Yes. The Suns have been leaning on Paul in the pick-and-roll for years now. They happen to have a perfect roster to facilitate that style of basketball.
After all, Devin Booker is as impactful off the ball as he is with it. Meanwhile, Deandre Ayton is a great pick-and-roll finisher, and the rest of this team is basically composed of floor spacers.
This team was built for the pick-and-roll. Russell was too.
All told, this swap nets the Suns their potential point guard of the future. They should do it with the intention of resigning Russell this summer.
