Days after LeBron James lamented the Lakers’ lack of size, the front office makes a trade for Rui Hachimura, a former top-10 pick who saw his role sapped this season and had recently said he wanted to be somewhere where he is appreciated: ocregister.com/2023/01/23/lak… – 2:00 PM

One of the reasons the Lakers traded for Russell Westbrook was the season he had in Washington. Instead of parting ways with Westbrook, the Lakers surrounded him with three of his former Wizards teammates — Rui Hachimura, Troy Brown Jr. and Thomas Bryant — off the bench. – 1:30 PM

Working in LA’s favor (and Hachimura’s, too): W/ the Lakers, he doesn’t need to be “9th pick in the Draft” good. He needs to be “gave up 3 2nds good,” and then in theory “reasonable $ in an extension good.” Context is really important. Can come here and just play a role. BK – 1:28 PM

Rui Hachimura has made 39.3% of his catch-and-shoot 3s since his 2nd year. By season:
2022-23: 36.6%
2021-22: 46.6%
2020-21: 34.1%
Streaky on a low volume of 2.6 per game (359 total shots), per @SecondSpectrum. But he’s solid and should get plenty of open looks with the Lakers. – 1:15 PM

Lakers got Rui Hachimura for a surprisingly low price, and that may mean Kyle Kuzma is off the table now. Truly weird stuff from the Wizards unless they’re convinced Kuz will re-sign, and he sounded pretty ready to test UFA last we heard… – 1:09 PM

Rui Hachimura’s cap hold (per spotrac) is around $18.8 million. If the Lakers plan to keep him long-term, they basically can’t create real cap space.
Plenty can change between now and July, but if the Lakers do operate above the cap, I’d expect Russell Westbrook back next year. – 1:06 PM

If the Lakers re-sign Hachimura that would significantly cut into their $30M cap space projection for this coming offseason.
Last week I wrote about why I think the Lakers should trade for role players now instead of taking the cap space route.

Hachimura and the Wizards were unable to agree on a rookie extension prior to the season and trade became more likely as Kyle Kuzma solidified himself as a priority to sign to a long-term deal in the Wizards front court. – 12:44 PM
