What role could Chris Paul be given if the Lakers hire him?
Once Josh Kushner and Bob Iger agreed to buy a majority share of the Lakers, there was speculation that Chris Paul could be hired.
As news broke of Josh Kushner and Bob Iger's majority share purchase of the Los Angeles Lakers, questions arose about potential changes to the franchise. ESPN's Ramona Shelburne noted that Chris Paul, a retired NBA legend and former point guard, could be one individual to watch as a potential addition to the organization. The two-time friends have a long-standing connection dating back several years.
Khobi Price of the California Post provided insight into what role Paul might assume if hired by Kushner and Iger. While it remains uncertain if Paul is interested in joining the Lakers, a front office source suggested he could serve as a consultant. The source emphasized that Paul, as a 12-time All-Star, would be someone the organization could consult with, given his deep understanding of the game.
Another front office worker speculated that coaching could be a more suitable option for Paul, highlighting his leadership experience both on and off the court. Both front office members agreed that Paul's potential roles could include either the front office or coaching positions.
