Why I'm not as high as most people on Rui Hachimura deal


As you probably know, Rui Hachimura was traded for Kendrick Nunn and three seconds round picks earlier this week. A lot of people are saying the Lakers won the trade and I get why you'd think that. Rui can help them now and gives them some much-needed youth on the roster, and they got him at a cheap price. I'm concerned his contract won't be as cheap though, as he's already probably going to get a deal in the 10-13 million range, and LA has a ton of roster spots to fill this summer. Paying a significant portion of their cap space to Rui who is a solid player, but isn't miles above anyone else on the roster doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
