Could LeBron James join forces with his close friend Chris Paul? An NBA scout thinks that would be beneficial for both sides.

Paul is in his 18th year in the league and is yet to win a championship. Teaming up with James, a four-time NBA champion, would increase his chances of finally doing that.

In addition, it would benefit the Suns that could use a playmaker in LeBron, the scout says.

Via Ric Bucher of FoxSports:

“The Suns have proved themselves quite capable of getting close, but I think they need a little bit more if they want to get to where they want,” the scout said. “One more ball handler and playmaker.” The presence of one of LeBron’s best friends, Chris Paul, would make it especially appealing. “It’s the one place he’d be welcome with open arms,” the scout said. “In Phoenix, with LeBron, I think Chris would finally get his ring.”
