NBA Trade Rumors: 9 Chris Paul trades that would cause a stir throughout the league

The Banana Boat’s first step for the Lakers
This seems like it is a very possible trade. For the Lakers, they would get a star, that also happens to be buddies with LeBron. For the Rockets, they get some defense along side of James Harden with Lonzo, and some bench shooting and scoring with Josh Hart.
Mo Wagner might be a wild card here, he may fit with Harden with shooting and rebounding, he may not, but if I am Houston, it is a chance I am willing to take. The Rockets would get deeper and younger talent, and the Lakers would get a star that could help LeBron right now.
This seems to be the most likely, as Chris Paul has been photoshopped into Lakers jerseys since that deal was rejected in 2011.
