Sources have told ESPN that the Los Angeles Lakers are still angling to land all-star point guard Chris Paul.

It was thought that the Lakers had shifted their focus to trying to land Magic superstar, Dwight Howard. However it now looks like they are still in the running for CP3. The Lakers are using Pau Gasol as the centerpiece of the deal and are looking for a third team to infuse the deal with young talent.
