Reaction to Rui Hachimura joining Los Angeles Clippers after Lakers don’t bring him back

1. Thanks Rui for the time being as a Laker! Good luck!

2. If this was the old CBA, he would’ve gotten 20 million a year

3. That is a pretty good deal for both Rui and the Clips…

4. I'm still not sure Pelinka understands that the same players play both sides of the court. He might think this is football.
   (to be fair …. the average fan might not be more shrewd. A normal conversation is basically "They're paying that much for Kessler? That's a massive overpay for an unproven guy who doesn't do much on offense." "Yeah but he's good on defense." ……. everything's flat. Everyone's avoiding nuance.)

5. We let another one get away 🤬

6. This might sound funny but don't let Trump endorse the Lakers😂 he will set them up like the Rough Riders

7. Spurs dropped the ball on this one. No team in NBA history generated more open corner threes than the Spurs last year. Rui would've been deadly.

8. Good decision by the Lakers. Rui is obviously a better shooter than Kuminga but his defense is horrendous. It’s better to have average shooting and great defense around Luka and Reaves

9. Pelinka leeches from the 2020 chip the same way Doc Rivers does from his Boston chip. Both are terrible at their jobs when it matters most

10. One of my favorite players going to one of my least favorite teams! Wish him all the best & them all the worst! 😊
    Thanks for all the good times!

11. Bro rui was great man guys goated mid range. Off the dribble.

12. the duck is the only one on that lakers squad without a team. lol. lebron had plenty of shooting and help. clippers scored a solid player. he'll be yet another one who shines when leaving the duck

13. Really shocked the Lakers would not bring him back for that price.

14. He was wide open because of having LeBron and Luka. I don’t think he will be same player so the those numbers. He’s a good team player

15. He also cant score in traffic at all lol

16. So basically this guy is just trying to cover the Lakers by highlighting all the stuff rui is bad at LOL bottom line is this was a dumb move by the Lakers to not sign him. This guy is just covering ass left and right

17. Lakers will not win a championship again if rob pelinka still the GM.

18. Clippers had a pretty good offseason. Their lottery Pick, Keaton Wagler has to be a star.

19. From Kawhi Leonard to Kawaii Leonard

20. I reported this last week. The Los Angeles Clippers will also sign LeBron James to a two year deal. they're also in hot pursuit of Draymond Green

21. Idk how the Spurs figured To ias Harris was a better signing than Rui was. He would've been perfect for them

22. That is disappointing to me good signing for the clippers. But to me would have been really nice for the Wolves to get him. Dont even care about the wolves just feel like a lineup of Melo, Ant, McDaniels, Rui, Gobert could be a very solid starting lineup make the west interesting or even more interesting.

23. So when do we talk about how much it seems these guys didn’t enjoy playing with Luka and Austin?

    The Lakers seemed to leak they told Rui no but it’s been reported Rui chose the Clippers a while ago but they were working a sign and trade that never happened. Then you have Smart and Kennard choosing early on to take small deals to move on.

24. Adios Rui.

25. A lot of players choosing to leave the lakers. Nobody wants to make that subject haha

26. I call bullshit on defense. They wanted Rui to cover the Guards because Reaves and Luka suck so bad on defense. Rui a big dude and shouldnt be. If Palinka goofy axx built the team right he wouldn't of had to. O well.

27. I’m so depressed. This was the first offseason I was excited for in years. We let all of our guys go. We could’ve kept some of them. And Rui hurts the most. I cannot take much more Rob Pelinka.

28. All these comments of people crying about Rui.

    He isn’t good, if he’s not absolutely spoon fed WIDE OPEN shots he won’t take them, he also doesn’t rebound (AR and Luka average more rebounds) his defense is even worse than theirs. He’s a stiff, slow footed power forward who would rather play like a shooter. After watching Rui all these years I absolutely won’t miss him, as it stands now our Rookie Cam Carr impacts the game more than Rui did.

    But sure, he made shots against OKC in which we were swept.

29. Luka didn't like him.

30. Jeff van gundy will make him a strong defender hopefully!

31. Rui doesn’t wanna leave LA cuz probably he’s friends with dodgers Ohtani and Yamamoto.

32. Lakers need to sign a real head coach
