Paul on Monday appeared on ABC\u2019s &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; to promote his new book and said he was as surprised as anyone to learn he was a part of the package set for Washington.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was surprised, too,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;I found out on the plane, yesterday, flying here for this. In this league, anything can happen, so you just figure out what&#8217;s next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paul went from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Suns before the start of the 2020-2021 season and instantly turned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/nba\/phoenix-suns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Suns<\/a> into a contender. He helped Phoenix to the 2021 NBA Finals only to fall to the Milwaukee Bucks. It was the only time he has made the Finals.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate interview with the New York Times published Monday, Paul said that new team owner Mat Ishbia and Isiah Thomas, who is close with the billionaire owner, &#8220;wanted to go in a different direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/nba-star-bradley-beals-wife-shares-cryptic-message-reported-deal-suns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NBA STAR BRADLEY BEAL&#8217;S WIFE SHARES CRYPTIC MESSAGE AFTER REPORTED DEAL TO THE SUNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s just \u2013 it\u2019s tough. Seriously, it is part of the business, and what you realize is that no one owes you anything. No matter how you are with them or what you do, you realize that in this business, nobody owes you anything, as it should be,&#8221; he told the newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But when it comes through and my son texts me, I realize that, you know, Mat and Isiah, I guess, just wanted to go in a different direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/suns-acquire-all-star-guard-bradley-beal-blockbuster-trade-wizards-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trade hasn\u2019t been made<\/a> official yet. Rumors have suggested the Wizards are not Paul\u2019s final destination and that he could be waived or even flipped to a different team.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Paul played in 59 games. He averaged 13.9 points and 8.9 assists. He\u2019s been an All-Star three out of the last four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The 38-year-old will be entering his 19th NBA season in 2023-2024.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/chris-paul-surprised-suns-trade-says-learned-deal-sons-text\">Source &#8211;
