Interest had been announced and it is now a reality. As reported by Brian Windhorst of ESPNLos Angeles Clippers and Washington Wizards are in talks to close the transfer of Chris Paul, who could thus return to what was his team between 2011 and 2017.
Although for the moment the terms in which the negotiation is moving are unknown, several journalists point out that the people of the capital would not ask for too high a price, since their idea would simply happen to save their salary without having to cut it and obtain some asset that help you for the future – whether you are a young player or some pick for the draft.
Regarding the vision of Californians, no one escapes that they have been looking for an organizing point guard for years and that they have tried many profiles. Last year, without going any further, they began giving confidence to John Wall and ended with Russell Westbrook, whom they certainly seemed to want to renew; And yes, if he lands CP3, everything indicates that Russ will have to find accommodation in another team.
The Lakers, in another story
Those in gold and purple have not forgotten Chris Paul, but they are clear that the path to achieve it is far from the one chosen by their neighbors. In the organization directed in the offices by Rob Pelinka they would be delighted to have a player of Paul’s level and experience, but only if he arrives free to sign for one year and the minimum of veteran. Exactly, the Lakers have to wait their turn.
