The news this week that Chris Paul may get waived by the Phoenix Suns by the end of the month has led to speculation and even hope from fans that he may end up joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
In some ways, it would seem to make sense. The Lakers may lose starting guard D’Angelo Russell in free agency, which would leave them needing another ball-handling guard alongside LeBron James and Austin Reaves. For years, Paul has been one of the NBA’s best such players, not to mention one of its best floor generals.
