In this move the Lakers sign Chris Paul, to an extension that matches Brons for 3-5 mil per year.

https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/trades/RzS02V4uHYjGKp/bulls-move-on The lakers need a much to be contenders again. A big wing that defends a big who can play behind Davis and with him. A playmaker who can run the offense behind LeBron and a shot creator who can catch and shooter but create plays down the stretch of games. Out of all those things the hardest to find is the shot creator. Enter Zach Lavine.

Zach Lavine fits what the Lakers want to do. They need someone who will play off ball and can create when called upon. Lavine does both. They’re giving up a haul to get him but they get to keep Reeves and some other key pieces.

Now it’s about filling out the roster Paul wants to come home to be around his family plus the Lakers need someone to run the non LeBron minutes. The rest of the team can be filled by players you can gamble on.

Lastly they need a coach and JJ is not that guy. I would pick Monte Williams if I were them. He’s still getting paid by Detroit so you probably don’t have to pay him a ton. He’s made a finals recently and most importantly he’s a respected coach. You can’t keep hiring these new kids on the block for these old veteran teams.
