Chris Paul, the legendary point guard, is reportedly in line for a significant front-office role with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN.
Earlier, Josh Kushner and Bob Iger completed the acquisition of the Lakers from Mark Walter for a record-breaking $12.5 billion, the highest price ever paid in sports history. Paul maintains a friendly relationship with the new owner, Iger.
The 12-time NBA All-Star decided to retire during the 2025/26 season. Now 41 years old, the former basketball star is eager to explore a new career path. Taking on a role with the Lakers would allow him to stay in Los Angeles, where his family resides.
