Lakers Eyeing Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook In Trades | Chris Paul Lakers | Lakers Trade Rumors Chris Paul's future is uncertain, as the Phoenix Suns point guard has a massive $44.2 million player option for the 2021-22 season. If he goes the free agency or sign-and-trade route, keep an eye on the Los Angeles Lakers. Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated reported Wednesday that, "According to sources, LeBron James and the Lakers have been on the hunt for veteran point guard, and Paul is on the list." Spears added that "For Paul to join forces with James for the first time in their careers, it would likely take a sign-and-trade with the Suns," though he noted that if the veteran point guard does opt out, he'll likely sign a longer deal in Phoenix. Spears wrote that the Lakers also reportedly were considering Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook as a "potential candidate" for a complicated sign-and-trade that would send point guard Dennis Schroder, forward Kyle Kuzma and guard Talen Horton-Tucker the other way. Such a deal would likely be the framework to get Paul to Los Angeles, too, though Schroder—who is set to become an unrestricted free agent—and impending restricted free agent Horton-Tucker would have to agree to join either the Wizards or Suns. Paul was excellent for Phoenix in his first season with the team, averaging 16.4 points and 8.9 assists per game while ending the franchise's 10-year playoff drought. Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and the young Suns helped Paul do something he'd never done in his future Hall of Fame career, meanwhile: reach the NBA Finals. A James, Davis and Paul trio would be tough to beat. But Paul didn't exactly sound like a man clamoring to leave Phoenix after Tuesday's Game 6 defeat. So Z Nation, who should the Lakers consider trading for Chris Paul or Russell Westbrook???
