He signed for 6M with the Lakers last season, no one wanted him, now is a fan favorite

The Lakers fans and even the NBA world didn't like at first a signing in the last season before things completely changed. The purple and gold were having a low season beginning with a 2-10 record, but thanks to Pelinka's moves, things have changed.

Currently, everything is working out for the Japanese wing Rui Hachimura, who had great playoff performances and has been putting up the work, making the fans excited for Rui's next campaign.

But not always was a successful story, when the Lakers made the official announcement, the fans didn't have the best idea about what Hachimura could bring to the table. It has released a bunch of twisted posts about Rui and his game when the trade happened with Mo Bamba included.

Different Twitter posts from the NBA fans have been hard on the wing almost no one believed the trade was any good and thought. In the posts written, many thought that he was a downgrade from Kendrick Nunn and that it was going to be a disaster. Hachimura has signed a 3-year 51 million extension and is one of the best players on the roster at the moment, especially after what he did in the postseason run.

Rui Hachimura is going to be Ham's starter over Vando

The trade for Hachimura worked so well that for the next season, he will be a starting player in coach Ham's lineup over Jarred Vanderbilt. Both players have been working out with Phil Handy and are looking to significantly improve.
