Chris Paul’s ‘342’ Nod to JJ Redick Puts Lakers Fit Back in Focus

The Instagram tag highlights his readiness during the Clippers’ effort to resolve his expiring deal.

Overview

  • Paul posted a workout video captioned “342” and tagged Lakers coach JJ Redick, referencing Redick’s well-known shooting benchmark and signaling he is staying game-ready.
  • He remains under contract after the Clippers announced on December 3 they were parting ways, and he has not played since December 1 as the team explores a trade, buyout or waiver.
  • Coverage reads the post as a subtle overture toward the Lakers, who have battled injuries and uneven form and rank low in three-point efficiency.
  • Paul recently said he is training daily and does not want his career to end in limbo, despite earlier indicating this season could be his last.
  • Dwyane Wade floated the Rockets as a fit given their playmaking needs following Fred VanVleet’s injury, though no team has confirmed active pursuit.
