"The Chris Paul Effect: Lakers, Suns, and Bucks Rumors Swirl"

ESPN personality Kendrick Perkins thinks that future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul could be the missing piece for the Los Angeles Lakers to become a true championship-caliber team. Perkins pointed out how LeBron James is reportedly considering retirement and how the presence of Paul, whom he is good friends with, could give him some “extra juice.” Paul's mastery of running the pick-and-roll would also make life easier for Anthony Davis. However, Paul is now 38 years of age, injury-prone and in decline.
