Chris Paul – LeBron and Luka – WHY NOT? – NBA fans counting down in excitement!
The Los Angeles Lakers became a guard-driven team after flipping Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic in February, and it could stay that way for years to come. The latter star averaged a team-high 28.2 points per game in the regular season and 30.2 in the playoffs, while fellow guard Austin Reaves was third with 16.2 points in the postseason.
Meanwhile, future Hall of Famer Chris Paul was at home during the playoffs for the second straight season. The 40-year-old has made the postseason 15 times, but missed out with the Golden State Warriors in 2024 and the San Antonio Spurs this year.
However, a new report suggests that Paul could attempt one more run at his first championship out west, via NBA insider Marc Stein.

“Chris Paul would be another [Dallas] Mavericks target at $5.7 million, but there is a growing belief that Paul — after starting all 82 games last season in San Antonio as a 39-year-old newcomer to the Spurs — is determined to play closer to his home base in Los Angeles if he indeed comes back for a 21st season,” he wrote on Friday.
The Wake Forest alum is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Lakers fans on social media want to see him play for their team.
“Luka, Reaves, DFS, Bron, Clax, CP3, NAW, Wiggins, Capela, Omggggggggggg,” one said.
“CP3 finally end up in LA? I think he will help more than hurt, so why not?” another asked. “Takes some more ball handling pressure from Bron and Luka. Especially if it’s on a cheap deal.”
“Lakers Backup PG bye Gabe,” another said.
“I will love to see him playing alongside LeBron. That will be nice to watch,” another said.
“We bouta finally see Lebron & CP3 play together,” another said.
