There’s a growing possibility that the Lakers can make a move at the 2023 NBA Draft, flipping their pick (No. 17), along with Mo Bamba and/or Malik Beasley for a starting-level upgrade. jovanbuha has the latest on the Lakers:
were working with Paul through a number of options for next season, including a trade or a release. He was slated to make $30.8 million next season, but only $15.8 million of that is guaranteed if he is waived before June 28.
Paul is coming off a season in which he averaged 13.9 points per game , 4.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.5 steals. He’s far from the player he was even a few years ago, but he remains a quality starter as a plus shooter and passer. His biggest issue, as has been the case for several years, is durability.in three straight postseasons and six of his nine trips to the playoffs overall, indicating the Lakers would likely have to manage his workload throughout the 2023-24 season.
Head-to-head, Paul vs. Russell was never a conversation until last season, and Paul still rates out better in virtually every advanced metric. He’s the better mid-range shooter, passer, rebounder and more of a defensive playmaker. That said, Russell is younger, nearly matched Paul as a mid-range shooter this past season and is the better 3-point shooter both by percentage and volume.
If the Lakers sign Paul, let Russell walk and retain Schröder, a Paul-Schröder backcourt tandem would still allow Paul to play only 24 to 26 minutes per night in the regular season before ramping up to a larger role in the playoffs. Paul and Schröder played together in Oklahoma City during the 2019-20 season;lineups outscored opponents by 15.6 points per 100 possessions in the regular season and 5.3 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs with the duo on the floor, per NBA.com.
