    Agreed! Because of Ham’s insane lineups, and man crush of Prince, Rui has, up until late, been treated like a much worse player than he actually is.
    We all saw how valuable he can be last season when given more burn and backing from the coaching staff.

    I'm skeptical of Chris Haynes scoops..he gets parts of the story right sometimes though. Bulls jacking up Drum Dawg's trade value?

    How can Rui improve when not given enough time on the court to even get into a rhythm? He’s been completely sandbagged by his own coach.

    Rui is actually putting up better numbers than last season. This is pretty much how his numbers look, during the regular season tbh, it's the playoffs where he steps his game up.

    How about Gabe Vincent and a second rounder? Let’s get the band back together. Who says no?

    x2 I'm also of the opinion Trae cannot be a 1st or 2nd option in a winning basketball team

    people forget the dude is not only a black hole on D, he's also a wildly inefficient scorer.

    The greatest thing to happen would be to send a bunch of seconds for DS and Drummond and trade a first for Caruso.

    In other words try to completely undue the Russ off-season. Get the gang back together but instead of KCP you got Reaves and Cam/prince instead of KCP.

    If the Lakers win the title it will be one of the greatest what if's in NBA history: did the Lakers blow 2 titles due to the Westbrook deal?

    I like that idea too, but what do we do with D'Angelo?
