Memphis Grizzlies Receive: C Mo Bamba, F Rui Hachimura, 2029 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G/F Dillon Brooks
With that in mind, this deal may not be feasible at all this summer.
Brooks isn’t the only free agent involved in it. Rui Hachimura has a player option this summer. He could decline it and hit the open market too.
Who knows what he’d fetch? Hachimura hasn’t been the most productive player in the NBA so far. At the same time, some rebuilding team may be willing to invest in his potential.
Leave all of that aside. Assume that the contracts line up here.

For that matter, assume that Hachmura accepts his player option and bets on himself to earn a larger contract next summer.
Should the Grizzlies take him on?
