if he works with lebron to get his body stronger n his handles n speed improved he could be a melo type of guy…
His ceiling is what Aaron Gordon produces for the nuggets just not a great defender like Aaron gordon
Please don't diminish 6'8 Rui Hachimura from an athletic scorer for 15 foot jumpshots & 18 foot jumpshots to a stand in 1 place SPOT-UP SHOOTER. 😢
Put him on the 2nd Unit with Austin Reaves.
Now go get your safety-valve behind the 3-point line veteran sharpshooter. 👍
Bogdanovich or Buddy Hield
This is the kind of trade the NETS should have made.
Yep. Absolutely. Dramatically
Jason – First time on the channel. Amazing breakdown brother. Thanks!
Seems like im the only one who remembers the Lakers won that chip was because they were playing big asf and bullying teams
Perfect analysis 👍🏻 I hope Lakers front office go and trade for Bogdovich / Hield ( which is must ) and a backup rim protector 🙏🙏
They still need two more wings. With that they'd be a legit contender when healthy.
wow, serious, Lakers gave up 2 picks and a player for a dude with a HITCH IN HIS SHOT?????
What if we trade AD with Klay?
Both healthy.
Russ is doing a little bit of a Rondo role now, a bit wilder but it is these kind of players that step up in the big games when it counts.
With LeBron and AD, he will get wide open opportunities. He will be ok
Wow him and russ had a good connection back in dc with Bryant and brown they all back together when I played 2k these 4 was in there with Bradley Beal. I’m excited but I don’t play 2k no more
The only bad thing about this trade is Rui doesn't have a name/brand that others identify. Your breakdown is accurate, but in today's world, if you're name isn't as loud as Curry, you're trash. Rui just got the Lakers through to the playoffs. I said it, beyond the play-in. Laker's games are already close, all they did was add a taller, and better player, and AD is coming back.
LMAO if child's play.
He seriously made a whole video for this ? 😂
Man trade Patrick Bev for josh Richardson we will be heck of a team
People don't know how good and legit the Lakers are. This guy makes them even better. The reason Lakers were losing close games and LeBron needing to drop 30+ points is because Lonnie Walker is out, and Austin Reaves, and AD. Even with Lonnie Walker and Austin Reaves, Lakers were winning those close games. The last 35 games, Lakers are 20-15. They started out the season on the wrong foot (2-10 start). And they are not far behind playoffs teams despite all the close games loses. When this team is healthy, this Lakers team can make run
Analytics are overrated
Caruso ain’t no damn 6’6 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing work
Dude wizards don’t have a pg Kuz is their primary ball handler in Washington how can anybody get shots off with kuz playjng PG!
Just give up those 1st rnd picks, your right there for contention it's a good step in the right direction
Now we afraid of la, Denver is in trouble 😵💫
Would of been nice if the warriors made this trade.
Your really smart bro I’ve learned a lot keep up the great work 👍🏾
Does the spacing on this team not scare everyone
