As Chris Paul continues to discuss his future with the Suns, the veteran point guard’s potential availability has reportedly caught the attention of the Lakers with the offseason now in full swing.
Los Angeles is believed to have “strong interest” in signing Paul should Phoenix opt to waive him or stretch his contract, according to a Friday report from The Athletic.
The Lakers have also reportedly explored a scenario in which the team could sign the 18-year vet to a minimum contract and retain pending unrestricted free-agent guard D’Angelo Russell, a key trade-deadline acquisition. Russell is among several notable Lakers free agents, including restricted FAs Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.
