I really like this move. Sometimes you dont need big to hit a jackpot

it’s not enough to just look at someone’s percentages, you’ve gotta look at how often they shoot 3’s. Not 100% sure, but I think you’ll find Hachimura shoots efficiency on a low volume which doesn’t necessarily mean he’s s good shooter.
Having said that, I think it’s a good move for the Lakers, and Stephen A is 100% right, Russ has been awesome coming off the bench

Rui Hachimura should have no problems fitting into his new/old LakeShow squad ????

I think it is HILARIOUS that Lakers traded for a lesser version of their former pick in Kuzma. While a decent acquisition Rui is more of a marketing move than a needle mover

ADs replacement hopefully.

He’s basically a Kyle Kuzma replacement, don’t matter weather he starts or comes off the bench, he’s getting minutes regardless

Gonna be Kuzma 2.0 for the Lakers

Isn’t the problem with Rui mental issues? He missed a whole chunk of time and it was never explicitly mentioned why other than “he’s dealing with some stuff”

I think Rui’s best season so far in his relatively young career was when Russ was playing as a Wizard two seasons ago. And he’s reunited with Russ, and now has LeBron who will definitely feed him the ball and make him a better offensively, so the load won’t be on LeBron to score in bunches even when AD misses with some obscure injury again and again..and again.

The media always milks money from every move the lakers make.
Espn be like: “Lakers signed some 50 year old 5 foot 3 inches dude. Are they championship contenders now?”

Say what, as long as LeBron is in the line up of LAL, they will be the league’s favorite whipping team. ????

He’s a great catch an 3 shooter. That’s what we need. If he can tap into his defensive potential man sky’s the limit. I love this move for us. And we still have our first round picks

Up until closing time Russ has played exceptional. But he can’t close a game to save his life anymore.
