Join the Lakers? James friends make a realistic decision to play in a team close to home

On June 28, the NBA is currently in offseason, and the most news at this time of year is player trading rumors. The Lakers are very concerned about. The team has held a draft before and selected the people they need. In addition, the Lakers will make further efforts in the future. Not long ago, a media person revealed the idea of ​​veteran Chris Paul, who wants to play near home.

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, veteran Chris Paul expressed his mood and was determined to play in Los Angeles, which is closer to home next season.

It was previously rumored that Paul would join the Mavericks in the future, but now it seems that there is greater uncertainty. What does Los Angeles mean? Paul's future is nothing more than going to the Clippers and the Lakers.

Among them, the Lakers are a very important team that Paul is likely to join. Because a veteran defender is needed here, and Paul and James are at the same time.

Although Paul is 39 years old, he still maintains a good form last season, and he played 82 games. If Paul can get what he wants, then next will be his 21st NBA season.

In fact, Paul was expected to join the Lakers many years ago and teamed up with Kobe to compete, but later this deal was stopped for various reasons.

If Paul requires a salary not high, or the salary of a veteran is directly under the basic salary, then the Lakers can indeed consider it. Paul averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists this season, and his rich experience can still help the team.
