Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul can decline options and join the free-agent frenzy in August. A look at the NBA offseason for the Lakers and Clippers:
A look back at the pandemic season that was: From high-scoring, efficient offenses to the injury-plagued postseason, it was a year like no other.Yeah, you are telling me Chris Paul doesn’t want his $44.
Few around the NBA think Paul leaves the Suns, and most believe he will re-up with them. Yes, CP has a home in L.A., but Phoenix is a short flight. We all get that LeBron James and CP are the best of friends, but does that make good teammates? Sure, the Lakers may be ready to move on from Dennis Schroder, but CP has been in the league for 16 years and he’s not getting any younger — OK, I know that is an understatement. But you know what I’m saying here.
If the reports about LeBron James seeking a veteran star point guard are true, the Lakers might need to save their star from himself. Russell Westbrook doesn’t add any spacing and still needs the ball to be at his most effective. Plus he makes $44 million, pushing the Lakers into the “are we sure this is even salary cap legal” zone. While Paul makes more basketball sense, as BT mentioned he’s 36. After the season the Lakers just had, they need players who have good luck and can stay injury-free.
