On Wednesday, news broke that the Phoenix Suns were considering waiving guard Chris Paul, a 12-time All-Star and surefire inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Instantly, speculation grew that the Los Angeles Lakers might be interested in him should he become available. Naturally, Lakers fans grew excited about the prospect of Paul possibly wearing the Purple and Gold next season.
The Lakers could need a ball-handling guard. D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves, their two starting guards, will be free agents this summer, and there is a possibility both will leave.
Would signing Paul be a prudent move?
