Suns have no intention of trading Chris Paul
The Suns, however, don’t appear to be considering a trade of Paul. “Let me be clear, I don’t think they’re trading Chris Paul,” said Zach Lowe. “I’ve heard nothing about trading Chris Paul. In fact, I’ve heard the opposite.”

Two quick fouls for JC. He got called for an offensive foul and then fouled Ayton with Clint guarding Chris Paul. That’s 3 for JC. – 11:35 PM

Chris Paul was not happy Cam Johnson passed up that free-throw line jumper. But CC gives Mikal Bridges a little push and he’ll got to the line. – 10:14 PM

On Chris Paul’s return to Point God form, how much fresher he looks hitting middies and 3s off the dribble than a few months ago, and how Mikal Bridges’ growth helps CP3 pick and choose his spots: https://t.co/rpXAwHPEdq pic.twitter.com/RPkrCYJmlX – 2:08 PM

From last night:
“Whenever C gets hurt, it’s like, ‘Good, like sit your ass down and get some rest.’ He’s got a lot of miles on that body. Especially if it’s not something super serious. Get your rest. Take care of your body. Come back super fresh.” Mikal Bridges on Chris Paul. pic.twitter.com/yX8Hb1Fzv0 – 11:25 AM

The dates don’t align.” -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / February 2, 2023

Kellan Olson: Chris Paul was not aware Damion Lee wanted to be in the 3-point contest and spoke like he’s gonna try his best to make it happen. “Well we gonna get D-Lee in it. Real talk. It’s a damn shame Cam wasn’t in it last year. If D-Lee leading the league in 3-point percentage, yeah.” -via Twitter @KellanOlson / February 1, 2023
