Looks like the LakeShow is keeping their options open with Rui Hachimura. According to insider Jovan Buha, don’t expect an extension for Rui before the season tips off. With Marcus Smart now in the mix and JJ Redick experimenting with rotations, Rui’s starting spot isn’t guaranteed. If he doesn’t lock down a role early, he could be trade bait by the deadline. The front office is all about flexibility for 2027, so this season feels like a big audition for Rui in purple and gold. #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow
