Rui Hachimura turns Anthony Davis’s frown upside down after the game
he’s like come on man. let me be in my feelings.
“Let me have this!”
“Please speed Rui I need this!”
ishowspeed:😳🙂↕️😚☺️☺️😚
“Bro read the moment, damn”
Gotta feel for AD man. I get that no sane Lakers GM could ever say no to that trade but it rly sucks for AD almost as bad as it sucks for the Mavs
I would also feel bad for klay thompson but it’s impossible to feel sorry for a guy who has Megan thee stallion making him thanksgiving dinner
Now that you put it this way…
watashi wa star.
Rui to AD
YO FUCK KLAY THOMPSON. FR FR
Give me half the chance 🥵
Megan please. I’m not rich, athletic, or talented, but I’m loyal, just give me a chance 😩
He’s a bum
And yet he’s the one that’s stuffing the turkey.
Exactly… This mf is blessed 😭😭
Literal truth.
Seriously. Dude gets to go home and see her morning and night
Actually I feel worse for Luka than Klay when you put it like that.
[deleted]
Lmao she isn’t, but taste differ apparently lol.
What’s true beauty? Honestly, it is really subjective.
My guy said monica mcnutts bald ass
Celtics flair adds up. Gay boy
I get your point, but there is no way that woman can even boil water.
She has a degree man this comes across terrible
There’s literally a viral TikTok video of her making the whole thanksgiving spread for his extended family from scratch
How I learned Klay Thompson and Thee Stallion were in a relationship lmao.
My brother in christ Klay’s been clappin those cheeks for months now.
I really really don’t care about any players relationship outside of the game. I just wanna watch good basketball.
I think she can do more than you brother. It has videos to proove it. But you continue hating. You got that going for yourself.
Yeah feel so bad for him. That trade just makes no sense
Every Lakers fan should forever love AD. He got us one ring, and he got us Luka.
I agree we need to get him to Chicago ASAP. Just need to pump that trade value up a little.
hold on, lets slow down here
Patrick Williams and a second, take it or leave it
It was like taking out old yeller two years before you should have.
I know it’s a tired point, but he’s made \(311M during his career with at least another \)120M guaranteed (not to mention endorsement money). So likely a minimum of half a billion in career earnings by 2028. Plus he’s won a ring for the most high-profile basketball team on earth. AD’s doing just fine.
dehumanizing people just because they got $$ is peak cope behavior
AD has made the worst of the situation at every turn. Showing up out of shape, whining about Nico being fired, the completely clueless ”I’m here!”, not wanting to play his position, making himself even harder to trade by jabbering about an unearned max extension while severely underperforming compared to his current contract…
I would feel bad for him if a lot of it wasn’t his own fault.
Rui in his accent probably saying “you miss me”would make anyone smile
How could you hate Rui? He just always smiling
Rui is pure vibes. I like his game too.
the people on our subreddit trying to move him after games lol
Wonder if him and Ohtani are bros since they’re both in LA
LA is the reason? Not anything else?
Let’s put a smile on that face, kudosai
Kudosai!
Edit: Kudasai!
KudAsai* fyi
yamete kudasai*
It’s typically spelled kudasai (ください）. Otherwise, kudosai would be くどさい which isn’t a word.
We got ourselves a Miyazaki over here
A real Ippei Mizuhara
kudosai means please give me kudos
Whenever people do this I’m like, was it necessary to add the Japanese when the person you’re replying to obviously can’t read it? We get it bro you know your hiragana
I mean it wouldn’t hurt tho, just a fun snippet for anyone to remember about
AD was the forgotten victim in the Luka trade. Bro lost his home too
Forgotten? More like targeted victim.
Hey could’ve taken the I don’t know you that’s my purse route but he’s really quite stoic like Hank
Top tier metaphor. Im gonna save this for later so theres delayed gratification
Klay is the forgotten victim, AD got straight effed
No one ever remembers Max Christie.
Proud to see him as a legit starter in this league. Our boy grew up 🥹
Max ain’t a victim. He’s making the most of his opportunity and from what I see loves being a Mav.
I think Max is the only one for who this trade was good. He is getting a lot more minutes - especially if you compare it to the situation he would find himself in in LA behind AR and Luka.
He is still just 22, the more court time he gets the better this will be for his carreer.
his reputation taking a hit for no fault of his own too
He’s only played 15 games, give him another year or two and once he hits 60 games we can see how he looks
60 games in 2 years? Someone’s an optimist.
I would say that he is the biggest victim here.
He really helped the Lakers out by making it clear he wanted to go there dropping his trade value and interest from other teams, then helped them win a championship. Lakers discarded him without a second thought.
Lakers were ready to die with him by giving him that massive extension. Its just Luka, no team can say no to that except maybe Denver with Jokic, Spurs with Wemby and OKC with Shai. Everyone else will trade their best guy
You don’t give that type of trade a second thought. You take the deal and run.
Lol it’s not like Rob traded him for a bag of chips. He was traded to one of the premier talents of the league.
Discarded? Lmao
/r/nbawww
AD, you are forever loved by the entire Lakers fanbase.
That…made me smile 😊
Rui is super wholesome.
Bro needs to come home
The fact that’s he’s just looking around…damn. I wish Rob could do something honestly
Yeah take him back please
Buy him out so we can take him back then.
Calling dumont as we speak
Genuinely wish we could but it’ll probably never happen
Three more years of day to Davis on my favorite basketball team 😭
Your favorite basketball team doesn’t deserve its best player considering what they did to end up with him and how “fans” like you talk about him.
The AD disrespect is ridiculous
How does this differ from how Lakers fans viewed Westbrook, other than the fact that Westbrook could actually play more than 30 games a year?
It’s best player is rehabbing his knee. Or possibly just a rookie.
You mean it’s most expensive player? There’s a difference
AD disrespect?!?! lmao, this thread of full of Lakers fans, but yall have to recognize this guy has been a complete bum for our team and cannot stay healthy for more than a week. Mavs fans don’t owe AD anything and he’s been no more useful than myself in winning basketball games. Just because he won a championship for the Lakers doesn’t mean we need to respect his commitment to the injury report.
Calling someone a “fan” for not hyping up this perennially injured waste of cap space is some of the most Lakers bullshit I’ve read on this sub.
Genuine question here, why should I be happy AD is here? The man has played in 15⁄45 available games, doesn’t want to be here, didn’t want to be traded here, and is playing on a team that was/is not properly constructed for him.
I understand he is a good player, but it just hasn’t been while playing for the Mavs. I understand why Lakers fans love him. I’m just not understanding why he should be revered as a Maverick. It’s not even a personal thing about AD. I don’t wish the man ill fortune. I genuinely hope he goes to a team that is more competitive than ours, but he’s part of the reason why this team is uncompetitive.
You guys act like Mavs fans just ran over your family Labrador when they express their frustrations with the trade and AD. Every single Mavs fan would revert the trade and not a single Lakers fan would revert the trade. We lost the trade and yall won it. Yall chanted “Thank You Nico” and we chanted “Fire Nico”. I’m sure that felt awesome for AD to hear. Neither fanbase was sad he was gone/happy he is here. It is what it is.
But yall want to have your cake and eat it too by shitting on Mavs fans because they’re upset that their favorite team went from a championship contender with Luka to a tanking team with AD because he quite literally cannot help the team win on the court as our best player on a consistent basis.
So, yeah, I just don’t understand why Mavs fans should be happy/thankful/excited that AD is on this team.
You don’t need to be excited but you also don’t need to be saying you’d trade him for a g-leaguer
Well a G-Leaguer and picks.
What I love is everyone saying this is disrespectful but then clamming up the moment someone asks if their team would give up 3 unprotected 1sts or a good young player (or even a good but flawed player like LaMelo) for him
Tell you’d make a AR + Salary Filler + 2 FRPs for AD trade?
My brother in Christ I’m not capable of trading AD lmao. He’s obviously not going to be traded for a G leaguer.
I’ll rephrase it I guess: I hope they trade AD to the best team possible so he can still compete on a better team and I hope for the best return possible. Whatever his value is I hope they get it in return.
Don’t you see!! We don’t like the player we were forced to receive after giving up a generational player, so we never deserved Luka anyway!!!
These entitled Lakers fans (I got a soft spot tho coz of 24 era Kobe) hahaha.
I want AD off the Mavs, too. Because I want him to go somewhere he can get a fresh start and get as far away from this shit-show org as possible. He’s better than the Mavericks.
Sincerely, an ex 30-year mavs fan ;)
AD to the Wolves
In a heartbeat. For Bronny for Knecht, who says no?
I’ll take it. At least dalton will be available
Remember, it’s me! Knecht Four!
For AR + a first?
No? Huh but I thought AD was a top 10 player to y’all?
Brother I would quite literally take any G leaguer you have for AD
get some help
As soon as street clothes is gone I will be healed rest assured
You guys don’t deserve him lmao. Have fun being shit. Hope AD goes to an actual good team and competes.
Damn bro you got me there. We definitely don’t deserve a guy who has played 33% of available games since being traded.
I also hope AD goes to another team you don’t have to say it as if I would disagree with you lmao.
We can take AD. We’ll fleece you idiots again if you want. You stupids handed over the best player that will ever play for your loser franchiese. Enjoy Nick Smith Jr and a second round pick for AD, ur gunna accept that like the paypigs you are.
Bros talking like I made the trade lmao. Please take AD for whatever trade package I do not care about the return brother man.
No problem, we will clean you out again. You pay pigs are a weird breed. No judgement though, everyone has their kinks. Nick Smith Jr is on the way.
You support the team that is the face of the NBA. The league can’t afford to have its best team to be in a rebuilding just as when big Dodger money comes knocking. That said, I feel bad for AD here. He’s also a victim here.
Well at least AD looked alright this game. Tonight could have been another very dark night for the poverty mavs. If AD came out and looked like shit or got injured, his trade value tanks even more.
AD value up, mav tank continues, Flagg gets some minutes. overall night a bad night for the mavs.
We don’t, but unfortunately no one else is dumb enough to take on the Street Clothes curse and give up even 3 firsts
Buy him out lmao, dudes making 60, its already hard to match
I wish!!!
He can get him back for AR+ a FRP + salary filler
I just want to see AD on a contender. He deserves to compete at this stage in his career
mavs are a good team when kyrie comes back
Can the organization or the fanbase have the patience to wait for that though?
We might not ever see that team.
I’m more worried about AD even wanting to stay that long. Kyrie will come back next year, sure, but AD probably wants another chance at a chip and is gonna be on an expiring contract year.
He might just ask for a trade
He should take this year and rest. No point in competing this year as we’re looking to utilize our last draft in a few years (and its a good bunch too). Go for it again next year with Kyrie, second year Coop, the top rookie, and even PJ.
Hes just gonna have to wait and let mavs tank for a top pick if he wants to a chip. Mavs healthy are really deep and have defense everywhere.
He can’t afford to wait. He’s 32 and has a history plagued with injuries. He has, at best, one contract left and it probably won’t even be a max.
What’s his other option, no contender is going to spend decent assets for who AD currently is
And the best way to compete is still with the mavs who are deep as fuck and can make a lot of moves to improve their shooting and guardplay with all theit centers and wings.
Make a lot of moves with what picks?
They have a lot of forwards and a center that a lot of teams want
They have one forward and one center they could trade and still have some type of depth, and would only be getting picks back so I’m not sure why you think the team would be better in the short term under that scenario. This team is cooked and needs to be tanking with the last pick they own for the next 3 or 4 years
He doesn’t have the leverage to ask for a trade.
Ask for a trade??? The guy hasn’t played basketball for the Mavericks because he’s injured all the time. I feel like I am taking crazy pills reading this thread with all the Lakers comments talking about we aren’t appreciative of AD. The guy has been a BUM since the day he got here for us.
They need to tank this season. 2026 draft class is goated and this is the Mavs last draft pick they own for the next 5 seasons.
Kyrie is a short guard in his mid 30s with a major injury history. Even if he still has some pop to his game when he returns, he’s going to decline FAST.
I think hes going to be fine, acl injuries are that bad anymore.
I get it’s fun to hate on them rn cuz Nico is a dumbass but they’ve got one of the best starting five’s in the league once Kyrie comes back. Oh yeah and they’re deep
I think they gonna be real good next season. They can trade for some guard play and they gonna get another top pick or could trade it for a vet thats already good.
Yeah and they need to get rid of Dlo.
No team can compete if 35% of your salary cap is going towards this version of AD.
What contender will give up good players and picks for AD, find the team?
Here is a clipped version (HQ) - via Streamable
This is the better clip.
Disney channel moment
cut the clip too short
AD is MISERABLE
Eating his depression away 😢 😭 😿
Feeling is definitely mutual
Whats it take to call your brother
When you’re in a bad mood but that one friend keeps making you crack up despite it
Poor guy man.
Made me happy made me smile
I’m convinced that I’m seeing the Jumpman logo on the back of Rui’s head.
nah thats Hokkaido
Ad looks like woody at the end of Toy Story 3 🥺
“Come give me a hug AD desu ne!’
r/nbaww
Mavs aren’t going to find any trade partners. Buy out AD so we can sign him back where he belongs.
How can he stay mad at Rui
Kyrie just there
AD was filming the sad part of his doc before he returned to the Lakers.
AD with the thousand-yard stare
AD got sent to prison lmao
He got sent to prison, then announced ‘I’m here’ then got shanked.
I feel so bad for making a joke out of it 🥲. I love you AD!!
Ever since him and Bron linked up he’s been trying to get him to be the first option, to lead the team. We even built the system around him. We pushed for it and he either couldn’t do it or wouldn’t do it. Sure, he had the stats but he wasn’t leading the team, Bron was.
Every season that went by was one step closer to Bron retiring and we were coming to a head where we needed to find our future if it wasn’t going to be AD. Then Luka came along and you don’t turn that down no matter what. But then the fact that we were going to have to pay AD, he was on the wrong side of 30 and most likely going into his last contract. Then he did that dumbass interview where he put the front office on blast for not getting him a center and that was they needed to move on.
AD lookin like Miguel Vargas.
Wassup, Senpai?
Love this.
I mean how could you not laugh when one of your boys stands two inches away from you while hitting a stiff T pose?
Awwwww omg 🥹
Rui is a good friend
That is cute
nbawww
Unifrown 😔
Rui was like: “Come here my little pookie bear.”
went from 🙁 to🥰
AD had no idea Nico and Rob were close acquaintances. If he had known the guy he was pressing had a friend who also complained about a franchise player pressing him, he might have curtailed his demands a bit.
Hey why cut off the hugging.
I wonder who Kyrie is looking for so yearningly like that
He was waiting for Luka
