On May 22, it was reported that according to the latest report of American media, the 39 year old Warrior guard Chris Paul might join the Lakers during the offseason this year. The Warriors are likely to give up Paul, whose salary is up to 30 million dollars, to reduce salary costs.
On May 22, Buha's Block, a reporter from the bleachers, connected Eric Pincus. Buha and Pincus discussed the fate of Lakers guard Russell. If Russell chose to leave the team, then the ball holding point of the Lakers first guard would be lost, and how the Lakers should replenish the guard position.
Pincus first listed Taius Jones, Melton and Ding Weidi in the free market, then listed Fultz, Kyle Lorry, and then Paul.
Paul and Warriors have one year left in their contract. The salary for the 2024-25 season is $30 million, which is a non guarantee contract.
Eric Pincus said that Chris Paul, a 39 year old veteran, might join the Lakers during the offseason this year. Based on salary pressure, the Warriors would have reason to give up Paul's big contract and let him become a free player. Considering Paul's friendship with James, Paul really has the possibility to join the Lakers.
"If I don't mention the possibility of Chris Paul, it's too careless. Paul is likely to be traded or fired by the Warriors. He is obviously close to James. It's a possibility for the Lakers to sign Paul. It's meaningful for me. Will Paul go to the Lakers to get the bottom salary? I don't know. I don't want to say that he is cheap for the Lakers, but I can foresee without a better offer. "
In response, netizens have said, "You directly said that James controlled the management."
"Paul's best destination is to go to a team with excellent big men. If the Lakers get Allen, Paul is really a good choice to bring the second team."
"30 million yuan is not guaranteed. With this age and the salary of warriors, Paul is very likely to be dealt with."
"40 year old James is not enough? Another 39 year old Chris Paul?"
"Although Old Gun missed Kobe, he may return to Los Angeles again"
"It's no use. You'll get hurt at the critical moment! Don't form a sunset red team!"
"Paul can't go to the Lakers. If he wants money, the female boss of the Lakers can't give him a high salary. If he wants to win the championship, the Lakers don't have the ability to compete for the championship. If neither of them is for the sake of the championship, it's not Paul."
