NBA Market: Los Angeles Lakers' Plan with Rui Hachimura
The Los Angeles team has a strategy prepared with the talented Japanese player
NBA Market: Los Angeles Lakers seem to have a clear focus on the future regarding some of their key players. According to journalist Jovan Buha, Rui Hachimura is considered by the franchise as an important piece in their long-term structure. Although this doesn't mean Hachimura is untouchable in the trade market, his situation is different compared to other players with similar salaries on the team.
Among the mid-range contracts that the Lakers can move before January 15, like those of Gabe Vincent, D’Angelo Russell, and Jarred Vanderbilt, Rui seems to be the player the organization values most as part of their long-term plan. This indicates a preference to keep him on the team, although the possibility of him being included in a trade is not ruled out if circumstances demand it.
