The Lakers are interested in Paul! James welcomes him, may become Doncic s mentor, and compete for the championship next season

According to NBA famous reporter Marc Stein, the Lakers are exploring the possibility of veteran point guard Chris Paul, which may be considered a signal of Reeves' departure. The Lakers look forward to adding an All-Star point guard with playoff experience to the dual-core system of James and Doncic, without affecting the team's lineup depth.

The Lakers are likely to exchange Reeves for several high-quality forwards and inside players, which is also the ideal reinforcement for the Lakers next season. When the Timberwolves had no choice but to defend against the Timberwolves in the playoffs, the Lakers had already made up their minds to rebuild a lineup suitable for dual-core possession. Although Paul is also in his forty like James, his competitive level remains unabated. Last season, the Spurs also received most starting opportunities and steadily played their advantages in sports control and middle distance. The Lakers need such an old star who can hold on the court at the bench and critical moments.

James will be happy to reunite with his old friends again, which can share the pressure on the ball holding the ball on the court. And Paul may also help Doncic develop more skills, and his experience teaching will help the Lakers make breakthroughs in the playoffs and strive for the championship.
