If the NBA trade rumors are to be believed, the most likely destination for the veteran point guard would be Milwaukee Bucks, who desperately need a ball-handler who can take over the game in the closing minutes. Trading for Chris Paul would be a statement signing which might help keep Giannis Antetokounmpo for the long term and also give the Bucks a chance at winning the NBA championship.
