The Phoenix Suns season is over after they got blown out on Thursday night at the hands of the Denver Nuggets.
Chris Paul was unable to play in the final few games because of an injury, which has become common for him in the postseason.
Now it has led to him possibly moving on to the next team.
According to the latest odds from Sportsbetting.ag, the Lakers have the best odds (+300) to acquire Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul.
The 12-time All-Star, who signed a four-year, $120 million contract with the Suns in August 2021, has a partially guaranteed contract for next season.
Paul may be 38, but he is still a talented point guard capable of dishing out assists and offering necessary leadership. His scoring has dropped off in recent years, but CP3 is still a player that will draw interest from teams around the league.

The Lakers would be an interesting landing destination for Paul. They are currently focused on the NBA playoffs, as they lead the Golden State Warriors 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals.
If the Suns cut Paul this offseason, the future Hall of Famer would become an unrestricted free agent and the Lakers would be able to sign him without giving up anything.
It should be noted that Los Angeles acquired D’Angelo Russell ahead of the 2022-23 trade deadline, and he may factor into their long-term plans.
