Eric Pincus On Chris Paul -
“Chris Paul will probably be a free agent. There is a reasonable chance he gets traded or just cut by the Warriors. LeBron [James] and him obviously have a close relationship. There is a universe where the Lakers sign Chris Paul. I don't think it's outrageous. I would be remiss without mentioning Chris Paul as a real possibility. It makes a lot of sense to me… Is Chris coming for the minimum? I don't know… I don't want to say he comes cheap to the Lakers, but in the absence of a better offer I could see that.”

Kelly Iko (The Athletic) -
“Orlando is interested in Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell, league sources tell The Athletic. Russell has an $18.7 million player option for the 2024-25 season he can opt out of if he chooses to test the open market.”
Why the Lakers should trade for Jonathan Isaac:
Height: 6'10”
Wingspan: 7'0”

Improved jumper this season with the Magic
Could he be a player similar to Michael Porter Jr.
