With the possibility that Chris Paul might become a free agent after a trade to the Wizards, here is how the Lakers and Clippers might pursue him.
With the NBA’s draft Thursday, and free agency officially starting at month’s end, another offseason has arrived. And though questions like what Charlotte will do with the second overall pick, and what Portland will do with the third pick, and All-Star guard Damian Lillard’s future, have dominated much of the discussion, as usual it’s the Lakers and Clippers that figure prominently into speculation.
The Times’ NBA beat writers Dan Woike, Broderick Turner and Andrew Greif discuss how point guard Chris Paul might figure into both teams’ plans.
Like BT said, I think the Lakers’ interest is almost exclusively as a free agent, ideally for the minimum. Maybe they’d creep into the mini mid-level exception if necessary. All of this being said, Paul should still have real value to a contender. He’s a brilliant player who can orchestrate an offense to perfection. He’s a hell of a competitor.
Paul was initially guaranteed about $15 million next season but that’s believed to have been increased to $25 million to facilitate the trade with Washington. The Clippers could make a trade work at that number through many ways. To bring in Paul would add yet another guard to a roster already with plenty, which makes the $20.9-million salary for guard Eric Gordon likely one target; that salary becomes guaranteed June 28.
