Chris Paul Getting Traded to the Lakers!?!?!?
Chris Paul currently calls Oklahoma City home and he's happy if it stays that way, as the Thunder point-guard has said multiple times, he's just blessed to be playing the wonderful game of basketball.
Sounds like if the Lakers get their wish, Paul will be heading back to California.

The 35-year-old Paul has two years left on his deal, paying him roughly $85 million. A huge ticket for an aging guard, however, Paul's relationship with LeBron James should play a major factor if this deal goes down or not. The Lakers don't have a ton to offer OKC, and any deal would likely include this year's first-round pick, and forward Kyle Kuzma.
Should the Lakers pull the trigger? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
