Live Bar, June 17th according to the TA Lakers Jovan Buha report, multiple sources revealed that if veteran Chris Paul was cut by the sun (or delayed payment), the Lakers will be very interested in signing him.
Buha said that if the Lakers could replace Russell with the base salary Paul, it would be easier for the Lakers to leave Reeves and the eight villages, and to leave Schroeder or one more player with the special case of the middle class. Another option is that the Lakers consider re-signing Russell and getting Paul to consolidate the rotation of the point guard. If it works, Paul is more likely to be the first point guard of the Lakers.
