NBA 2019-20: 3 players that need a new team ahead of the upcoming season

#2 Chris Paul

Chris Paul was traded to the Thunder following a two-year spell with the Houston Rockets

Back in 2017, Chris Paul joined the Houston Rockets in an attempt to win a first title. However, the veteran guard was traded to the Thunder earlier this summer after reportedly falling out with his back-court partner James Harden.

Evidently, an Oklahoma City team lacking Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Jerami Grant won't put Paul in a position to compete during the final three years of his contract. And general manager Sam Presti is reportedly looking for trade partners already.

With the Thunder also likely to start Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at point guard, Paul could also find himself on the bench for a team that will pose no danger to a crowded field of playoff contenders in the Western Conference. CP3 is in the twilight years of his career, and his presence in Oklahoma City is beneficial neither for himself nor for his new team.
