Shaquille O’Neal on Lakers acquiring Rui Hachimura: 'I don't even know who that is'

0 1
Shaquille O’Neal claimed that he doesn’t know who Hachimura is on the latest episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq. “I ain’t never heard of him,” O’Neal said of Hachimura. “I mean, you know we gave up Kendrick Nunn – he wasn’t really doing nothing, but listen – I’m going to get on my Spice [Adams] thing right now. My Lakers, we all about winning them championships. “If it ain’t no piece that gon’ win a championship, I don’t want to see it. I don’t even know who that is.”

Watched LAL-SAS this morning:
-AD looked like AD. Huge for Lakers.
-Hachimura looked good. Ran the floor hard.
-Schroder is playing a nice floor game lately
-Branham is figuring stuff out. I like him.
-Sochan’s passing is coming along
-Collins looks good. Only 25 too… – 8:54 AM

Anthony Davis’ instructions to Rui Hachimura when LAL ran post plays for him tonight in his Lakers debut: “If they don’t double, you don’t pass.” – 1:53 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Anthony Davis said he raised his eyebrow at Darvin Ham at a point when he noticed that some of the post-ups the Lakers usually call for him … they called for Rui Hachimura.
But he laughed, saying the Lakers know he’s a good midrange shooter and can get buckets out of it. – 1:53 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Despite an off shooting night (3 for 12), Dennis Schröder was terrific against the Spurs, finishing +15 (2nd only to Hachimura’s +17).
The German had 4 steals and 2 blocks, plus 8 boards and 5 assists in a team-high 37 minutes. – 1:46 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Rui Hachimura scored 12 points off the bench on 4 of 7 FG’s (and 3 of 6 FT’s) with 6 rebounds in 21 minutes, good for a team-best +17 in his Lakers debut. – 1:21 AM

Lakers win 113-104 over the Spurs to improve to 23-26. AD 21p 12r 4b; LeBron 20p 11a 9r 6tos; Pat Bev 18p 2s; Westbrook 14p 4a; Hachimura 12p 6r; Schroder 9p 8r 5a 4s 2b. Next up: @ BOS on Saturday. – 12:51 AM

Rui Hachimura will come off the bench in his first game.
He of course has familiarity playing with Westbrook from their Wizards days together, but the coaches will certainly take a look at him with different groups. – 9:03 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Rui Hachimura will also come off the bench tonight, Ham says. He’s had access to the play book and some scripting, but Ham says the Lakers are trying to ease him into his role. – 9:03 PM

Yesterday, I dove deep on the Rui Hachimura trade to the Lakers.
-Why and how Rui struggled in Washington
-Why I have some questions on if he’ll help LA if they make the playoffs
-Why I think this move probably still made sense for the Lakers to make.

The newest Laker Rui Hachimura getting a workout in before the game. He’s not making his debut tonight. Rob Pelinka loved Hachimura coming out of Gonzaga and was high on him in that draft so he’s happy to get him now. pic.twitter.com/bFyfQ4Bfjv10:10 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Hachimura told people around him in college at Gonzaga that he wanted L.A. to be his home after playing in the city at then Staples Center.
He cited the weather at first, but significantly, said he has family and friends here, with 🇯🇵 only a 9-hour flight away. – 9:01 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Will Barton is now in the game and just hit a corner 3. He was out of the rotation, but the Hachimura trade and Porzingis injury have evidently opened the door for him. – 8:59 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Rui Hachimura told us on a @SpectrumSN interview (coming up on the pregame show) that he chose No. 8 in part due to being a Kobe fan growing up, and also because part of his name means 8 in Japanese.
With Kobe’s No. 8 retired, Hachimura will wear 28 as a Laker. – 8:52 PM

Darvin Ham said he’s excited about the acquisition of Rui Hachimura:
“More size on the perimeter, can guard players in the post … can hit shots and also fit into the system. He checks the box on (several areas). To be able to add a talent (like that) is a no brainer.” – 8:26 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Darvin Ham on Rui Hachimura: “I’m super-duper excited. … I’ve always been impressed by him. Just a multi-faceted, strong, athletic, skilled young player. … I think he’s gonna bring a lot.” – 8:23 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Seems like Phil Handy is getting a feel for what Rui Hachimura can do. They’ve done some catch and shoot, some corner threes stepping into the shot, and some post-up work like this. Rui seems to be in a good mood. pic.twitter.com/tCigMNDcqF8:17 PM

More on this storyline

O’Neal called out Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka in the process, saying the team should have made a trade for Bradley Beal. “It should have said Bradley Beal,” O’Neal said. “If you want to impress me. Come on, Rob. That’s all I gotta say. I don’t even know who the f— that is.” -via Lakers Daily / January 27, 2023
After getting traded from the Washington Wizards, Rui Hachimura made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers last night. The interest to watch the Japanese forward’s first game with the new team was so high that the country’s only official streaming service went down. Hachimura’s first game as a Laker was scheduled to start at 12:30 Japan time. With only around 10 minutes left before the match, the country’s only official streaming service, NBA Rakuten, went down. -via BasketNews / January 26, 2023
