Devin Booker and Chris Paul resurrected the Phoenix Suns and secured an impressive season. After a runners-up finish in the 2020-21 campaign, the Suns will look to back it up in the upcoming season. However, not many players are assured of their spot in the side. Veteran leader Chris Paul is on top of this list. This leaves the Suns management in a state of bother, and a key position in jeopardy.

Chris Paul can exercise free agency this summer

In a season to remember for the Phoenix Suns, Chris Paul excelled for most parts. The point-guard averaged nearly 20 points and 9 assists for the Suns in the playoffs. Combining with Devin Booker to form a deadly duo, the side was a force to be reckoned with. Despite age catching up with the No.3, the interest for Paul in the market still persists.
