Lakers president of business operations Tim Harris informed staff Tuesday that this will be his final season with the organization per sources. Harris, who was the driving force between the massive local TV rights deal with Spectrum SportsNet, has been with the Lakers/The Forum for more than 35 years.
If I'm the Lakers I would need significant incentive coming from the necessary 3rd team in any theoretical Hachimura-for-Hunter swap. Eats up a big chunk of LA's flexibility this summer and while I like Hunter I don't think trading Rui for him moves the needle much.
Dont think Hunter is the win on the margins kind of role player the Lakers need, or a big upgrade over Rui. If they can get opportunistic and get other assets from the move, then maybe a different story.
@matthewvergel It might be better to compare total park hours than visits.
A single/multi-day ticket buyer may spend all day at the park. Whereas a key holder may only spend a few hours.
Here's the deal: The Bulls land Nikola Vucevic and Al Farouq Aminu for Otto Porter, Wendell Carter Jr., and two first-round picks. Huge addition for Chicago, who remains in pursuit of Lonzo Ball. The Magic are moving toward a rebuild now with Aaron Gordon deal on deck.
Sources: Anthony Davis plans to opt out of contract and re-sign with the Lakers.
