According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Suns are expected to trade Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and some second-round picks to the Wizards. This means that Phoenix will no longer have a floor general to facilitate the offense for the three prolific scorers. Unless the Suns find a suitable replacement for Paul, one of the stars will need to make significant adjustments to their style of play.

Nevertheless, if Phoenix can successfully make all three scorers work together without disrupting their roles, it could be an exciting spectacle for the league. We may witness a new iteration of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, albeit with fewer emphasis on three-point shooting.

The prospect of Bradley Beal joining forces with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant in Phoenix is certainly a cause for concern for other teams in the league. The Suns must make the most of this opportunity, especially with Booker approaching the last season of his contract. Fortunately, Durant seems committed to staying with the team for now.
