please trade him…17M for Lebrons backup…you can’t win like that.

too slow to guard fast wings, too small to guard bigs
i’d trade him if we can get Dejounte

He and lebron together cant defend any wing. Lakers needs a 3 and d wing alongside lebron. Rui is not it

Inexplicably fell behind on Porter way too many times and was a complete abomination from three. He handcuffed the entire offense because Denver switched Jokic off of AD and put him on Rui, where he basically ignored him and roamed the paint / doubled AD. It was very bad and you could argue his complete lack of confidence from three blew up the whole series.

Nah 7 3 1 while getting torched defensively by everyone he guards gets u ok the chopping block pretty fast. I don’t think people actually understand how bad rui was that series. He shot below 50 percent on layups 2/6 on middies, 3 ball was ass. His assignemnts of jokic and mpj shot in the 80s in terms of effective fg percentage and he averaged 3 rebounds. As bad as dlo last year

Why is he pixelated? Has he been thanos snapped?
Give him some more time. He’s 26. He can still get better. And with cap limits and other teams boycotting lakers, we likely won’t get much for him

I honestly thought he’d continue to improve, but he seemed to regress. I’m disappointed.
He went from untradeable to please-trade-him-for-a-better-wing almost overnight.

I think he can grow into a great starter borderline star if he goes to a team like the Spurs imo. A team with good defense and a system.
DLO and Rui are redundant fits next to Bron and Reaves. Reaves should be a 6th man and Bron needs a DFS type cat.

Move Rui for DJM
