This is not a super exciting or original trade. But the lakers continue to come up in Bruce Brown Jr. trade rumours.

Thoughts on Rui? I think he works really well on the Raptors. A shooting PF. Only 25 hrs old. He would fill out the starting line up well. Eventually we developed a young 3&D PF that takes over and he comes off the bench. From what I know of him he is a great locker room presence.

I like this trade a lot. It fills holes better than the Grimes Fournier trade with the Knicks. Even though Grimes might have more upside.
