Rui Hachimura Headed To The Lakers
2 years agoWashington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura has been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. The Wizards will receive Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks in exchange for Hachimura. A good move by the Lakers to bring in another scoring option, which they desperately need. Hachimura is averaging 13.0 points and 4.3 rebounds off the bench with Washington this season. His fantasy value should be on the rise, assuming he plays a bigger role in Los Angeles. He's a restricted free agent this summer, so the Lakers will likely attempt to bring him back. As for Nunn, he didn't offer much value to the Lakers during his time there. He missed the entire 2021-2022 season and didn't bring much to the table this season. That being said, Nunn will probably have a more consistent role in Washington, but it's unlikely enough for him to have nightly fantasy value.
