The Lakers are finally making moves. Los Angeles acquired forward Rui Hachimura from the Wizards on Monday, per multiple reports. The Lakers will send Washington guard Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks in the deal. Hachimura, a former ninth overall pick, is in his fourth season in the NBA. He is averaging 13.0 points and 4.3 rebounds a night, while shooting 48.8% from the field. Nunn, also in his fourth year, is putting up 6.7 points per game. Let’s grade the trade for both sides.
Lakers: B
This is a solid if not spectacular move for a Lakers team hanging around the play-in picture despite a poorly constructed roster and an injury to Anthony Davis.
