He’s been training with a sumo since Luka got traded here, it’s only right he keeps it up during the offseason.
Am I the only one who want a new Austin Powers movie? There’s just not enough funny/silly movies made anymore. We were watching the beginning of “Naked Gun 33 and a third” and just dying of laughter.
The Lakers will not extend Rui Hachimura’s contract before training camp The Lakers are in no rush to make a long-term decision on Rui Hachimura. The Japanese forward is entering the final year of his contract and is eligible for an extension starting July 6. However, according to insider Jovan Buha, the Lakers are unlikely to sign him before the start of training camp. “Based on the information I have, I don’t expect the Lakers to extend Rui’s contract in the next six weeks. Of course, something could happen, but I’d say they want to keep the payroll clean and see whether he will be a starter or come off the bench, and how things will play out this season,” Buha said on his podcast. WTF Why he sacrificed and struggles to train with sumo wrestlers There is no point at all
think i posted it a couple pages ago, but it makes no sense for us to extend unless he wants a super team-friendly deal (like 3/55 or something). it's probably in both parties' best interest for no extension to occur, tbh. i'm sure rui's agent is trying to get a 4/120, but that s*** ain't happening. if a team will trade an expiring and seconds for him whilst agreeing to pay him that, i think we just have to eat it. i like rui, but i'd rather have options. and one option would be to re-sign him! if he has a great year, he stands to make more here next summer than he does right now in an extension anyway.
Really? You’d trade him for seconds? I’m not really getting the sentiment… I want to compete for a championship. That doesn’t mean trading a player in your top 7 for garbage or future seconds.
if his agent was pushing for a big extension or a trade, then yes. pretty sure that's how we got him for a low price in the first place, tbh. his free agency lowers his trade value, but an extension beyond his on-court value does that even moreso. if he's content to just play out the season, i'm happy. if he's unhappy due to his contract situation and/our how he's being used, i think the right move is to look for a trade, and players in his situation and talent level have been multiple 2nds types, imo. again, it's not my preference. and if that came to pass, i'd probably rethink my wiggins stance as well.
