Completely against trading Rui unless it's for a high impact player. He's one of two 40% 3 pt shooters on the team. Let's not go back to the LeBron-AD era where they have a bunch of brickmaster roleplayers on the perimeter
I don't get it with Rui love. His best attribute is scoring but he can't even scale it up even with all of their injuries. 3.7reb 0.3blk 0.5stl is hilariously bad from the guy who plays at PF 34.5min per game. That's a Derrick Williams level of production. And it's not like he's a great team defender or off ball player either
It's not that he's great; it's that he's serviceable on defense, has size, and is an excellent three-point shooter. The Lakers have largely been devoid of solid, two-way wings for years now (minus DFS kind of), this year included, and so moving off of Rui rids them of a piece they desperately need even with him on the team. Losing him and not gaining a dependable 3&D wing with some size would be nightmarish given the rest of the roster.
This basically
I would like to add to Rui if possible
Swapping him and our 1st for a guy like Wiggins isnt enough
We need shooting too and while he isnt high volume, hes a solid shooter
Would love Herb Jones if Nola was interested in Rui: Rui, Knecht, 1st, Thiero, swaps
Probably not enough still even, but not horrible. Other option is to do a 3 team deal where we get a bad contract and another team takes on DJM (like give us a bad forward or C contract back)
