Quote: |
According to a league executive on the possibility of the Lakers pursuing a Chris Paul trade: "Chris Paul would love to come back to L.A. I know it would be a dream come true for Chris...I know LeBron loves and trusts him, and he would be a good fit." |
Quote: |
Paul would give the Lakers a third scorer and playmaking depth, especially if they retain Rajon Rondo, who also plans to opt out, per Charania. The challenge would be the two years, $85.6 million left on Paul's contract (he can opt out of the final season but isn't likely to, given the $44.2 million payday). |
Quote: |
If James set his sights on Paul, the Lakers would have to send out five players: Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green and Quinn Cook, along with Avery Bradley and JaVale McGee, who need to opt into their contracts to be dealt. L.A. would also need to send its No. 28 pick in November's draft, signing that player before waiting 30 days to execute a deal in which the Lakers would offload almost $33 million in players salaries. |

I don’t see it personally, the salary is just too much to take on. Someone like Oladipo is more likely, that’d be a nice pick up |

Look at the math, people... What do you do, trade Anthony Davis? Trade Lebron? He is still owed $85 million for TWO years....lol... |

CP3 is making more than LeBron... that's 4x champion LeBron. Btw, CP3 and Rondo as teammates... ![]() |

From the FA thread I said it would take something like this without relying on S&T DG Kuz 28th McGee (opt-in) Bradley (opt-in) Cook (Fully Guaranteed) We all know 6 for 1 trades are very unlikely, even though AD trade was technically a 6 for 1. Also I think we would give up too much in terms of assets, depth, and salary flexibility with exceptions. |

I just don't see why you wouldn't do it I mean he's always wanted to be a Laker and it makes sense he wants to come here. You just do it, CP3 is a top 20 player for sure maybe even top 15 This would almost favorite us to three peat. |

Hard pass - CP3 is aging and injury prone, and that contract those last few years would be a nightmare |

It's really not a bad trade for us. Cook and McGee don't matter. We did fine without Bradley in the playoffs. Green and Kuz had their moments but they really weren't anything special overall. We'd still have the MLE to use. |

OKC has no interests in oblige to both CP3 and Lakers, they can care less where he wishes to end up. |

Kuzma, #28 plus DG/Bradley/McGee expirings might be financially enticing, Lakers basically shutting ourself from 2021 sweepstakes |
