Shaq on Rui Hachimura trade: “I ain’t never heard of him”
Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal was not impressed by his former team trading for Rui Hachimura, to say the least.
The four-time NBA champion does not see the trade as increasing changes for Los Angeles to win a title and, therefore, does not see the point in making it.
Shaq made it clear that if it was Bradley Beal, it would be a different conversation.
Via Peter Dewey of Lakers Daily:
“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.”
“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.”
This season Hachimura is averaging 13 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.2 minutes per game.
