Now that an NBA champion has been crowned, the offseason is fully in swing for all 30 teams, and boy, are the rumors a-flying. Within the past 24 hours, the Lakers have been linked to free agent point guard Chris Paul, who is 36 years old but coming off the longest playoff run of his storied career. They’ve also had rumored trade interest in Russell Westbrook, who is somewhat heading in the opposite direction after playing the last three seasons with three different teams.
Whatever happens, however, it’s fair to say the Lakers have targeted point guard as their position of need this summer.
