Could Chris Paul get involved with Lakers' incoming ownership?
The sudden sale of Mark Walter's majority sale of the Lakers has raised lots of questions, and Chris Paul's name was brought up by an ESPN reporter.
The Los Angeles Lakers' recent $12.5 billion sale could have affected LeBron James' choice in free agency. ESPN's Dave McMenamin asked a "source close to James" whether the ownership change might have influenced the four-time MVP's desire to stay with Los Angeles if it happened earlier.
The Lakers are being sold for a record $12 billion less than two years after Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter bought the team from the Buss Family.
The NBA releases full schedules for each team on Thursday, and only the Knicks, Spurs and 76ers have as many national TV games (34) as the Lakers.
Momentary panic swept through Los Angeles on Wednesday morning when news broke that Mark Walter was selling the Los Angeles Lakers only 10 months after being approved as the team's owner, wondering whether the Dodgers are next.
