Even before another playoff series ended with Chris Paul dealing with an injury, the Phoenix Suns were giving teams the impression they were looking for a long-term solution at point guard, sources told Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. Paul missed Games 3-6 of the second round with a groin injury.

The Suns have been linked to a number of point guards from Fred VanVleet to Terry Rozier. Phoenix also pursued a trade for Kyrie Irving before he was dealt to the Dallas Mavericks. 

Paul has only $15.8 million of his $30.8 million salary guaranteed next season.
