    An obvious priority in the offseason to get him back in purple and gold. Unless there is a shocking S&T that could bring the Lakers something really good back in return in a deal, the Lakers must bring back Rui.

  11. Douglas Hairston

    Rui Hachimura's humanity inspires me to become the best person I can be — even at this late point in my life.

  16. Mikey2k

    Rui was one of the highlights from the Lakers this season. Love his game and his attitude, and I hope he stays a Laker for a long time!

  17. XL

    Rui is like Lebron’s Devean George. A reliable guy that can hit solid from midrange and three. Very versatile. I’m happy for Rui and hope he stays with the lakers long term. He mesh very well and very fast and that’s speaks volumes about him as a player. He even outscored the grizzlies bench numerous times.

  18. ROSH

    If Rui is lucky to play with Bron for a couple of more seasons, his game, work ethic and IQ will be next level man

  19. The Fifth Generation

    This guy stepped up in the playoffs along with Austin. Hopefully with more work with Phil Handy in the offseason he'll rise to another tier.

  26. Marlin Joseph

    We need to run some plays thru Rui. He is your 3rd star in waiting! Ham sucks at using him offensively

  27. Cho Yen

    We need hachi , austine , king lebron back in lakers the rest pls trade them 😂😂😂😂

    One thing about a player that plays well along side LBJ, the stakes go up for them. Rui has the height and more experience in the bright lights, teams will be coming for him.

  31. Poppa Smurf

    He just played the Kawhi role from San Antonio but was way better shooting and guarded bigger players. Don’t let him go.

  35. Mao Dong

    A Japanese speaking Samurai is good for the Laker's brand. Just think of the T-shirts and cool music videos!!

  36. R.J.

    Not a Laker fan, but my bias as a guy like Rui as a mixed Japanese, I want Rui to be a Laker going forward. He really shined in this postseason, we were treated to how great of a player Rui was, and being traded to Lakers was a blessing in disguise. Keep both Rui and Austin – they fit well with AD and LeBron as starters.

  38. No1 No1

    What!? A black man spitting "outstanding" Japanese . . . lawd, my people got some real 'all world' talent! Long live the emperor and long live Hatchi! 🎌

  40. Alkebulan Lion

    He was and factor 4th best plays on the team. Reeves was the 3rd best they balled out in these playoffs. Been very consistent unlike dlo

  42. Mike Chambers

    Rui played some great basketball for Lakers. When he first arrived to LA, I saw a kid struggling to find his games. He did not pay with confidence because he was always deferring. Now he plays like a star because he understands what he brings to the team. Lakers better sign him because he’s a good fit. All players that Lakers trade for are good. Some will need to find their confidence like Rui did.

  44. passerau

    We do not need Kyrie or Tray Young or a third star.

    We need another big guy 6,10 with 265 lb who can possibly shoot 5-3s per/game and can play bully ball in the paint, he must be an average defender.

    This is the only missing piece right now, and Brook Lopez (BL) is a perfect match.
    Also if we match BL current contract, I think we can keep this roster intact.

    Vando,DS,Ar15,Rui,LW,Mo must be kept.

    Dlo pay cut if needed
    MB… 🤷

    Ty🙏
