When news broke out of the Phoenix Suns waiving 12-time All-Star point guard Chris Paul, there were many teams around the league salivating at the thought of adding him to their roster. One such team that has been mentioned as a potential destination is the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks have been considered as one of the best teams in the NBA over the last few seasons, with star players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton. Highly motivated to bounce back after their stunning first-round exit in this season’s playoffs, CP3 could be the perfect piece to help them reach their goals.

Better halfcourt offense

Adding Paul to the Bucks would provide a tremendous boost for the team’s offense, and it could lead to more efficient scoring from their main guys. Furthermore, his leadership abilities have been well-documented over the years, which could be beneficial in helping the younger players develop their games.

Finally, his veteran experience could be invaluable during the playoffs, as it often takes a special kind of poise and understanding to win in the postseason. What’s more, Paul has been regarded highly for his clutch performances late in games and should bring an extra level of confidence to Milwaukee’s closing lineup.

Health concerns

For all of CP3’s brilliance, there are plenty of questions about his health. Already 38 years old, the Wake Forest product played in just 59 regular season games. And when the Suns needed him most in the playoffs, the Point God was nowhere to be found as he missed the team’s last four games due to a left quad strain. This is something the Bucks cannot ignore if they decide to pursue CP3.
