Chris Paul Prefers His ‘Next Basketball Home’ to be in Los Angeles or New York

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul may be making his way to Los Angeles or New York. This may be great news for the Lakers. Or not?

Paul has been part of too many rumors. He is still under contract with his current team. But, the Oklahoma City Thunder is rebuilding the roster, so they may be interested in trading their superstar and his big deal to get more players.

“I’ve been told by a league source that Chris Paul prefers his next basketball home to be either in L.A. or N.Y. (Los Angeles is where he resides full time) and that has created some modicum of leverage in the ongoing negotiations between the sides,” Knicks Film School’s Jonathan Macri wrote in his newsletter. “I’m also told that there is a deal on the table that is comfortable from Sam Presti’s perspective, and the ball is in Leon Rose’s court.”

Chris Paul is making his way to Los Angeles

Paul is a good fit for both LA and the Knicks.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won their 17^th title in team history. It was a good win for the team, and they are already planning the future. LeBron James and Anthony Davis led the Lakers to the top. But, the team may lose some of its veterans in the near future. Rajon Rondo is expected to become free agent and the same applies to a few other players.

When it comes to the Knicks, Paul would give the team the perfect veteran presense. It’s a relatively young team and Paul would have a similar role as in Oklahoma City.

There are so many things fans would ask, but one thing stands for sure. Paul would pick the better team. He is probably interested in winning his title. LA is still considered favorite to win the championship in 2020-21. What does that mean? Is Paul really going to Los Angeles?

Paul finished the 2019-20 season with 17.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game with his team.LA could definitely use these numbers.
