Suns Lineup after trade: PG: CP3, Beal, Lee SG: Booker, Lee SF: Okogie, Gordon PF: Durant, Roddy C: Nurkic, Eubanks

Okay I know what you're probably thinking, why would CP3 go back to the Suns? well let me tell you why. The Suns are in a terrible position with a big three which was meant to go far into the playoffs get swept in the first round. To make it worse they don't own any of their draft picks for years. So the only thing they can really do is run it back with the same big three that lost in the first round embarrassingly. Although my first thought would be to trade Beal it wouldn't be that realistic since he has a trade clause and would probs want to stay but also no one wants his massive contract on their team. One of the many problems this team has is on offence because they don't have a playmaker, Booker was forced to be the PG and he struggled which inevitably was a big reason why they played poorly. So why not get a pure PG in CP3, we have seen how well he works with this team going to the Finals with the Suns in 2021. He brings a veteran mindset into the locker room and a pass first mentality to really get this offence rolling. He is also on the last year of his deal which may sound like a bad thing but in reality the Suns can dump his contract to create cap space for the seasons onward. They also get a little draft capital with a SRP.

The Warriors had an even worse season and the fit of CP3 wasn't the best. For a team with Steph Curry they struggle shooting so getting one of the best perimeter shooters is pretty sweet. Grayson Allen would play the role that Klay Thompson played next to Curry, with Klay most likely gone in Free Agency Steph will still have a 3 point threat besides him. They also get some wing depth with Little and O'neale who bring solid bench production and could elevate this team back into playoff contention
