Nets, Spurs Have Interest In Rui Hachimura
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura is hitting the market as an unrestricted free agent this summer. A return to Los Angeles is possible for Hachimura, but that could be dependent on whether the Lakers stay over the cap or go with cap space this summer.
