The Phoenix Suns have been linked to two players to replace Chris Paul next NBA season, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. The two guards are Toronto Raptors All-Star Fred VanVleet and Charlotte Hornets veteran Terry Rozier.
“Paul only has $15.8 million of his $30.8 million salary guaranteed for next season, and there will be plenty of league-wide discussion surrounding Phoenix’s options for moving the future Hall of Fame point guard,” Fischer wrote on May 12.
“The Suns already left rival teams with the impression they were searching for a long-term replacement for Paul before they pulled off that trade deadline blockbuster for Durant, league sources told Yahoo Sports, and have been linked by league personnel to ball-handlers from Fred VanVleet to Terry Rozier.”
