We'll just have to wait and see to determine who really won the trade. Though they were able to acquire Rui for cheap I read that he wants more minutes and greater role in the offense when he's already ave 24 mins per game and I'm not really sure where he's going to get those shots.. and with his expiring contract they better lock him down soon and avoid unnecessary drama. Also how good is in terms of shooting and defense? Cause those were 2 of his biggest weaknesses on his scouting report..
Russ' $44m contract will end by the end of this season so LA will have enough cap space to offer Rui, with the mileage on LeGm's legs I'm sure he won't mind giving Rui more touches.
That is indeed his biggest weaknesses, but watching his recent games he seems to have improved on those aspects, and playing with LeGM players usually tend to up their game.
Considering landing a starting role player with his skills and size (LA badly needs them) in exchange for Nunn and two 2nd round draft picks, I think LA won this trade (I think the Wizards could have gotten a 1st rounder in exchange for Hachimura, but considering the tension with the team I guess they just wanted to get rid of him)
