Will the LA Lakers offer a slew of players for Chris Paul?

We can also expect some LA Lakers veterans such as JaVale McGee or Danny Green to be on the trading block this off-season if Chris Paul is up for grabs.
Chris Paul is regarded as one of the greatest point guards of the modern era and is known for his intelligent play and leadership qualities.
