[Trudell] Pelinka on Hachimura: “Watching Rui come here after the trade felt like a personal renaissance for him. He came alive as a player again. And he parlayed that this offeseason with really incredibile work. He spent most of his time training with LeBron – that was intentional.”

    I want Rob to describe my work this semester. He uses colorful language.

    The Lakers have figured something out guys 👀

    Playing for a storied franchise like the Lakers, a winning team after years of losing and lack of contending, having lost your starting job and having your 5th year option declined on your former team to going to play playing with LeBron…it absolutely must have been a breath of fresh air for Rui and he capitalized.

    His improved defense and defensive versatility matters. The biggest question and what would really tie his game together is the perimeter jumper, and that’s hopefully what he has been most focused on honing this summer.

    Is trudell a discount Mike Ross?

  7. KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

    Damn, I knew Rui is a big dude but saying that the incredi-bile in his liver is putting in work is next level

  8. Le_Atheist_Fedora

    Rui might be decent but he’s no manna from heaven.

  9. craigslistaddict

    how would you unintentionally train with lebron, though

    Mans had the best playoff 3 pt shooting in history

  11. Imagine being able to train with Lebron all summer? That’s worth wayyyyy more then that 50k Olajuwon workout

  12. He’s been in the lab doing two a days with LeBron for weeks. I think he’s gonna look much improved.

  13. SnooMacaroons8650

    he had worse stats on the lakers than he did with washington in pretty much every category but sure we’ll go with that

  14. DancingInfernoMagic

    love Rui. shame that he’ll always be clowned for the “Jokic-stopper” stuff

  15. MtHoodMagic

    I still genuinely think Rui can be an all-star. At least one year.

    Lakers the kings of taking Wizards scraps, slapping a bow on it, selling it to the LA kids like it’s the new big thing, just to have it look the exact same as before. Love to see it

  17. Everyone knows if you train with a player that you become exactly like them.
