Sources: Phoenix Suns agree in principle to acquire Chris Paul from Oklahoma City Thunder

The Phoenix Suns have agreed in principle a deal to acquire Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star guard Chris Paul, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The deal sends Paul and Abdel Nader to the Suns for Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, Ty Jerome, Jalen Lecque and a 2022 first-round pick, sources told ESPN.

Suns owner Robert Sarver is bringing the future Hall of Fame guard to Phoenix, delivering star Devin Booker a running mate and the franchise leader. After finishing last season by going 8-0 in the bubble and establishing momentum, the Suns suddenly are set to become a real factor in the Western Conference this season.
