This.

Guys play better in certain fits/environments... Rui was going down a bad path. He was used early when he got to LA, fell out of the rotation...and now is pretty much used as their backup big (first forward) off the bench. Lightning in a bottle yesterday for sure, but nothing worth building a franchise around
