When the Phoenix Suns traded for Oklahoma City’s Chris Paul in November 2020, there were plenty of skeptics.

The 35-year-old was also carrying $80 million worth of baggage – the price tag on the money he was still owed for two years.

Now, the Chris Paul trade ranks among the top five in Phoenix Suns history.

The 2020-21 Suns already have made powerful strides toward contending, and rank near the top in most NBA power rankings, and Paul’s presence could prove monumental.
