When Clipper Nation was notified that Chris Paul was reunited with his friends, family, and the team that had missed him deeply since he left, fans immediately began comparing LA's starting lineup and bench units to those around the league. This is a common reaction, as Paul signed just after Bradley Beal and the trade for John Collins.
Furthermore, the projected lineup has always been based on talent, experience, and what the fans know from Lawrence Frank and Tyronn Lue. Thus, Frank made it clear Paul's minutes would fluctuate, and Lue emphasized Beal being a good defender, indirectly implying an expanded role.
