Neither scenario seemed likely when the Thunder traded Russell Westbrook for Paul this past summer. Many are shocked, but Paul is almost dismissive when asked how it all has happened. His rejuvenation and leadership at age 34 have helped him make the most of a situation that appeared to be undesirable.(AP Photo/Eric Christian Smith, File)
