The best two years of Devin Booker's career were when CP3 was there in the desert. In addition, Paul will likely have the best chance to play solid minutes in Phoenix.
He was an All-Star in two of his three years with the Suns, 2020-21 and '21-'22, and averaged 15.1 points and 9.5 assists per game in his time there. Booker averaged close to 27 points in those three seasons playing alongside CP3.
With the Clippers, Paul would work behind James Harden, who just re-signed with the team to start at point guard. Paul had a star-studded six years leading Lob City from 2011 through 2017. He averaged 18.8 points and 9.8 assists in his time in LA, though he was a much younger man. Paul turned 40 in May.
He spent last season with the San Antonio Spurs, starting all 82 games, averaging 8.8 points and 7.4 assists.
His decision should come down soon.
