Lakers rumors:Paul’s Future with Warriors Uncertain as June 28 Deadline Looms…
Paul’s contract for the 2024-25 season is non-guaranteed, giving the Warriors until June 28 to decide whether to release him without any salary cap consequences. If released, Paul could become a compelling free agency option for the Lakers.
As Pincus noted, the decision may hinge on the kind of offers Paul receives in the open market. Last season with the Warriors, he demonstrated his ability to make a significant impact, particularly by enhancing the bench unit and creating open shots for teammates. This is an area where the Lakers struggled last season, making a potential pairing sensible. However, Paul’s extensive injury history and advancing age are important considerations.
Many decisions regarding players remain to be made across the league, but if Paul becomes a free agent, the Lakers are likely to explore the possibility of acquiring the point guard.
