Chris Paul set the alarms around the league when he shared an old pic with Devin Booker. Of course, that’s completely normal since they are teammates, but another player isn’t part of the Phoenix Suns and appears in the pic, too.
CP3’s photo also included Karl-Anthony Towns, currently with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man is a very close friend of Booker, and they have stated before that they want to team up at some point in their careers with D’Angelo Russell.
The picture dates from 5 years ago, and Paul decided to share it on Instagram. That could have been a regular post, but NBA fans took that as a way to attract KAT and lure him away from Minnesota.

Some watched this as tampering and even joked about it. In contrast, others expressed their sincere desire to see KAT joining CP3 and Booker as soon as possible.
Something that could play in favor of the Suns is that executives believe KAT isn’t pleased with the T-Wolves. After recording another losing season, the doors could be open for teams to try to grab the Dominican-American player.
Moreover, the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors could be candidates to acquire his services, but nothing is certain right now.
