Rui Hachimura and the Los Angeles Lakers are now linking up following an unexpected move between the Purple and Gold and the Washington Wizards that shocked a lot of people around the league. 

Hachimura didn’t specifically request a trade, but he showed his unhappiness with his current situation on the Wizards. Now, he’s headed to Los Angeles, with NBA fans praising the Lakers’ front office for pulling off this move that could give them more room to improve in the next couple of games. 

Hachimura is still young and can provide a lot to the Lakers, especially if he’s coached the right way. Some say that playing alongside LeBron James could be great for him, but time will tell how he will develop. 


Lakers Fans Are Really Happy With Rui Hachimura’s Arrival 

Just like general NBA fans, Lakers supporters are happy to see Hachimura joining their team. The Japanese player has shown flashes of his quality over the years, and it’s time for him to turn it up and make a big contribution to the 17-time NBA champions. 

In two separate posts on Reddit, Lakers fans celebrated this move, with some saying they fleeced the Wizards and others simply showing their happiness for this unexpected trade.

Lets fucking go!!! 3 2nd Round Picks is nothing man. We got a legitimate wing!

Lakers turn 2nd picks into gold though

Them not laying down last night made Rob start cooking. Damn good start

Idk if we’ve necessarily fleeced them. I think we’ve actually developed a pretty good trade relationship with them. The Wizards slowly becoming our best friend in recent years with how many deals we’ve done with them.

LFG!! Great Fuckin pick up bro welcome to LA RUI

That’s something. Finally!

This is payback for them ripping us off for Russ lmaooo

Welcome to LA!

Idk about fleecing the Wiz, I’ve seen that with WB before…

Found a very solid trade that doesn’t include 1st or any rotation players. Big win

Let’s go that is solidddd

Wow, they really do care

That’s a fucking steal lol

anything that prevents ham from running 3-4 guard lineups is a positive

Damn three second rounders lol , but still fuk them picks

I’m so fucking excited, the Lakers have a wing

something happened!

Fuck them picks. Plus Rui is only 24. I highly doubt any of picks will be players that match is production.

The Lakers are trying to get better every game, and with the addition of Hachimura, they have a bigger to extend their winning streak. This move could work wonders for them, but we still need to wait and see if Rui becomes what they need, as the Lakers plan to re-sign him in the offseason.
