OKC Thunder backcourt CP3 and SGA get an early start on building chemistry

Two of the newest members of the OKC Thunder arrived via the trades of the franchises top two players. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a key part of the Paul George trade to the LA Clippers and already pegged as a cornerstone for the team’s future.

Conversely, veteran Chris Paul who was part of the Russell Westbrook trade to the Houston Rockets isn’t expected to last the full season in Oklahoma. As such, his role and presence with the team weren’t certain. Would Paul be as invested in developing a rapport with a club he would likely exit by the trade deadline?
