NBA Insider Gives Update On Chris Paul to Lakers Situation

An NBA insider has given an update on Chris Paul, the reports that he might come to the Lakers, and this situation. The Lakers are NBA champions after running through this year’s playoffs. It was very impressive to watch them work as a team and get the job done. LeBron James and Anthony Davis were a tandem to behold.

But it was not all easy. LeBron talked about how hard it was to stay in the NBA bubble for so long.

“I am here for one reason and one reason only, and that’s to compete for a championship,” James said. “That was my mindset once I entered the bubble, once I entered the quarantine process the first two days. And then right from my first practice my mindset was to, if I’m going to be here, make the most of it and see what you can do and lock in on what the main thing is. And the main thing was for us to finish the season and compete for a championship.

“So that’s just been my mindset throughout these — I don’t even know how many days it is, whatever how many days it is, it feels like five years so it really doesn’t matter. I’ve been as locked in as I’ve ever been in my career.”

But they are already looking for some moves going into next season. It never stops for the Lakers, even after winning the title. One of those moves is Chris Paul. There were reports that he might be going to Lakers. But Stephen Smith disagrees.

“CP3 does not want to go to the [Los Angeles] Lakers,” said Smith. “The reasons he doesn’t want to go to the Lakers is because they’re already established, they’re already accomplished, and there’s really nothing to do for them. They would only be doing something for him, and that is ring-chasing, and that’s not the kind of ring-chasing that he wants to be a part of in terms of stacking the deck. He’d rather go some place where he could be himself and be the leader that he is.”

Do you agree with him?
