Just the season before, Paul was traded by the Houston Rockets to OKC for Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook himself is in the center of trade talks although the reported front-runners for him, Charlotte, seems to be in “slow” negotiations for the explosive point guard.
Paul will team up with Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton for a formidable trio expected to make the playoffs in the Western Conference.
