When did the Lakers hurt you bro? When we beat you for the chip?
How is that Lowry signing treating you?
You've asked multiple times in this thread if anyone can tell you about how Hachimura is as a player. Yet, when posters are telling you about him and his drawbacks, you are fighting with them and defending his fit in LA ... after admitting that you KNOW NOTHING about him as a player.
Makes sense.
Well to be fair, RRR's takes are kind of outlandish. Both EPM and RAPTOR have Rui as a neutral to slightly positive defender. It's actually been his offensive efficiency dragging him down to average bench player impact levels, but I feel confident that improves in the Laker offense, which has been top 5-6 in the league in the last 20 games.
Finally, let's compare him to the alternative: a small 6 foot tall guard who is insanely redundant on this Lakers team, which is also lacking SF-PF scoring between LeBron and AD. When they won their title, they primarily got out in transition and had AD at the 5, with Morris at the 4. To me, Rui is going to play a much-needed Kuzma/Morris role. And he's still only 23 with the Lakers having RFA rights, and a former lottery pick.
I'm very confident the Lakers got better here.
he's just trolling you. Report it lol
