Lakers Interested in NBA Champ, Number One Pick? – Mason & Ireland

By the way, there is some trade stuff floating around and let’s hear it. One of the things that has been discussed is Andrew Wiggins who is down in Miami. Now, Andrew Wiggins scored 19 points a game last year. Shot 46% from three uh after he was traded mid-season. Um here’s the proposed trade would involve Ruri Achamora, a first round pick and Daltton Connect. All right, let me let me clear up a couple things. proposed is proposed by the media. Correct. Propos I don’t mean proposed. Well, this is a proposed trade. Yeah, but it’s media created. Correct. The Lakers are not Lakers. Yes. So So we don’t even know if the Lakers have any interest in this, but but um let me say this. I’m not 100% positive that Andrew Wiggins is a better fit than Ruie Hamura. I agree. Ruy’s a little bigger. He’s coming off. He shot 41% from three last year. More in volume. I think Ruie because of his size can give you more options defensively. And I just this is a little meymouth, but I’ll say it. Mhm. I just really like Ruie. I I I just I’m a big fan of his on and off the court. I would hate to see him go. I understand that you got to trade something to get something. Y but I’m not sure I do that deal. How about you? Uh no. I don’t give up brew. I’m a big Rury fan. Yeah, me too. Um, here’s the other guy that is floating around out there proposed by somebody not. By the way, that’s nothing against Andrew Wiggins, who I think is a great player, but but I I just like Ru. Now, I don’t know this guy well. You probably do. Haywood Highmith, who uh was traded to Brooklyn earlier this summer, from Miami. He was good in Miami. Averaged seven points a game, three rebounds, shot 38% from three. Uh, that would be a much lower cost deal. Do I have to give up Ruie to get him? No. Well, then I’m I’m more interested in that deal. Yeah. See, I I’m okay with Gabe Vincent. I’m even okay with Dalton Connect. Um I I Daltton Connect has shown flashes. He had that game where he scored what 38 points or something. Uh so he can definitely go off, but I don’t know necessarily if he’s more than just a rotation player. Do you think Dalton Connect more than just a rotation? Too soon to tell. I hope so. He can play and he’s real streaky. So, um, he did not have a great summer league, so hopefully that motivated him to kind of get back in the gym and figure it out. Yeah. But, um, I think he could be a good player. Could be. I don’t know if he’s there yet, but I think he

  5. Wiggins is not a better fit than Rui Hachimura ??? "Rui because of his size can give you more options defensively" ??? 🤯🙄🤡 You guys do NOT know what you're talking about. 🙄🤡 Not trying to listen to you ever again.

  6. Rui can’t guard on the wing which is why they want Wiggins. Liking him doesn’t negate that. That’s why there has been no talk at all about an extension for Rui.

  11. Rui doesnt do nothing defensively for Lakers, he just has a big dude, can you put him in the other team best player? Did Ant not bully him in the playoffs?
