Rui Hachimura Discussion: Huge Buckets

rescuing rui from page 2 with this thought:

unless he shows up big in the playoffs or something, he looks on pace for a pay decrease in the offseason. if, say, he's looking at a bunch of tmple type offers, does he come back here on a cheap one-year deal to preserve his bird rights? perhaps in a hot dog stand situation?

if he gets offered full mle elsewhere, he obviously takes it. but if it's tpmle or vet min here whilst retaining bird rights, i'd almost opt for the latter, especially with hot dog stand/kcp wink/winks involved.

i suppose we can also S&T him somewhere, but that would have to fit into our other plans, and that's a tough needle to thread.
