“The league believes Sandro Mamukelashvilli is headed to the Lakers. That’s what people in the league believe. And he would basically replace Rui Hachimura.”

- Brian Windhorst

That is a ridicoulous comparison. Sandro is an undersized center who can shoot the ball a bit. Completely different player than Rui, several levels worse shooter and worse defender at wing position. Those talking heads are just saying stuff...

Edit: of course it is possible Lakers are after him (although I am not sure why), but I don't think as Rui replacement. More like Kleber replacement
