Chris Paul's Surprising Trade and Subversive Suns Role.

Chris Paul hinted at Isiah Thomas' involvement in the Bradley Beal trade, revealing the businessman's influence on the Suns' new operation. Thomas, who has not held a job within an NBA organization since leaving the Knicks in 2008, has been a trusted adviser to Suns owner Mat Ishbia. The Suns' decision to facilitate Thomas' NBA return has raised questions, given the organization's recent toxic workplace saga. Meanwhile, the Suns' acquisition of Beal highlights their all-in approach to building a super team, which contrasts with the Nuggets' championship-winning strategy of building a team with elite talent, depth, continuity, and chemistry.

The Chris Paul Trade Saga: Involvement of Isiah Thomas and Potential Return to Clippers

Chris Paul was surprised to learn about his trade to the Washington Wizards from his son, and suggested that Suns owner Mat Ishbia and Isiah Thomas wanted to go in a different direction. This suggests that Thomas may have some decision-making power in the Suns' front office, despite earlier reports refuting his involvement. The trade will send Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps to the Wizards, while the Suns will receive Bradley Beal, Jordan Goodwin, and Isaiah Todd.
