The Phoenix Suns are expected to waive their veteran point guard Chris Paul. If the two sides can figure out a way to part ways, CP3 can still join a contender for the 2023-24 NBA season.
Keeping that in mind, the Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams that could potentially sign Paul in free agency. Speaking of his potential move to the Purple and Gold, CP3 gave fire to rumors after working out and dunking on the Lakers’ practice court. Moreover, he wore golden-colored shorts.

The video was uploaded by NBA skills coach Johnny Stephene. In the video, Paul can be seen showing off skills even at 38 years old.
It could be a subtle message by the veteran guard for the Lakers to sign him in free agency. But at the same time, it could be a ruse by him to confuse fans.
Should The Lakers Trade For Chris Paul?
Chris Paul may be out of his prime, but he’s still an elite point guard. The 38-year-old is coming off the heels of averaging 13.9 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 8.9 APG during the regular season.
He can certainly solve the Lakers’ issues of finding a pure point guard. Moreover, an NBA executive believes all signs point to CP3 joining the Lakers.
The Lakers can provide him with one last opportunity to win an NBA Championship before retiring from the league. In addition, he’s long-time friends with LeBron James.
So, signing CP3 could also help the Lakers in convincing James to stay. James hinted at retirement after getting swept in the Western Conference Finals by the Denver Nuggets.
As things stand right now, Paul is still a member of the Suns, but he could soon don the iconic Purple and Gold jersey.
