The insane reason why the Lakers could pursue signing Paul George

In some surprising news, the Clippers are looking to make a trade for Paul George, but things could get an interesting turn if the Lakers pursue the SF and sign him.

While the Lakers haven't expressed interest in Paul George, now that the possibility has opened, it's something the front office should consider.

Pelinka and Ham could pull off the ultimate payback to the Clippers after they signed Russell Westbrook once his time as a purple and gold player was done; the same thing could happen now the other way around, with the Lakers signing Paul George.

George is an experienced player who could bring a lot to the team and be a superb acquisition if Rui Hachimura or Troy Brown Jr. leaves the group.

The Lakers and the Clippers are "battling" to sign Chris Paul

The LA rivalry is also being played off the court, with both teams interested in signing the experienced PG Chris Paul. CP3 already has a Clippers past but could now become a new purple and gold player, something he has dreamed of since the famous 2011 failed trade.
