Lakers Notes: Chris Paul, Shaquille Harrison's LA Futures; Anthony Davis

Your Los Angeles Lakers haven't played a game of basketball in several weeks now, but the team remains the topic of some rampant league-wide chatter.

Yesterday, we unpacked how CP3 feels about LA and how feasible a possible Lakers tenure for Paul actually could be.
