Lakers lose 2 potential targets thanks to Warriors’ Chris Paul trade

In typical NBA fashion, things have really started to heat up now that the NBA Finals are over. While the Los Angeles Lakers made the small move of trading up from 47 to 40 in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday, the Golden State Warriors decided to make a blockbuster move.

Golden State traded Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, a 2027 second-round pick and a protected 2030 first-round pick to the Washington Wizards for veteran point guard, Chris Paul. This loops the Warriors in as the third team in the initial Paul for Bradley Beal trade.
