The LA Lakers traded Kendrick Nunn and 3 second round picks to the Washington Wizards for former top 10 pick Rui Hachimura. Surprisingly, this is actually an important deal in terms of what it means for both of these teams moving foward towards the NBA trade deadline.

I can't wait for him to play great for half a year, lose in the play in tournament, then get a giant contract extension from the Lakers and go back to being average
Lol stop mentioning dame he has himself said what he won’t do and here u are again starting this saga up. He has never gone against his own word why use that to destroy your channel? Views
Great trade for the lakers
Great trade for the Lakers.
Is he a starter??
“Guard a little bit” 😂😂
Lakers will not trade 1sts the will do what they can but can go sign a top tier player this offseason. Lakers still in good spot I don’t think they expected to be doing this well.
Wow that sucks. They should trade Lebron? The should get all their picks back? And rebuild?
Lakers are not know for developing players. This move will be a moot point if they did put a development team around their picks and young assets.
Lakers honestly probably one of the best destinations for him, LA is home to one of the largest Japanese communities, hopefully it'll make him feel more at home.
I'm a Lakers fan now..
Wizards tanking since they left Baltimore 😆
Welcome to the Los Angeles wizards!
Finally
Weird trade for washington. Good deal for the lakers. They werent using nunn. A +.
Imagine how many japanese people will buy a Hachimura jersey right now…
I think i make the deal even if im throwing the season. Its just a good deal.
Dude MARK This Video or Just Even This Comment! because Rui on the Lakers Just watch how much Rui'll GROW around Westbrook and Professor/Coach Lebron James. Plus this gives them a trade asset that if works out even semi good then they can trade for Brony James locking Lebron into the end of his Career.
So half the nba now trying to get on the Wemby sweepstakes huh? Lolol
lakers just SNAPPED officially title favorites HOLYCOW THEY BEEN SNAPPING ADDING THIS PIECE IS NEXT LEVEL 4 REAL LEBRON MVP RUSS SIXTH MAN RUN IT
Another injury prone player
Rui was drafted to be a franchise cornerstone! It didn’t pan out, he can still become a valuable role player , possible Star
This is a GREAT trade for the Lakers!!!
3 picks for Rui Hachimura. Holy fucking inflation lmao.
Washington drafted him for that money that they made off of jersey sales
Rui is a stud,nice trade Lake Show 👌🏾
I think it's tough for the Wizards to get better and competitive even if they go tank commander mode. The top of the East is still fairly young unlike the West. This is going to be a 3-4 season project minimum. Beals contract was a bad idea – he's valuable and could get them the assets to accelerate the rebuild but the contract just makes him difficult to move. Porzingis has 1 year left after this season and he's still useful to a lot of teams. But his health is always a major concern. (I'd like OKC to go after him after the season when Kemba's cap hit comes off, it gives them a chance to bring Chet along slowly from a major injury and gives them size so they're not always getting killed inside) Kuzma is the guy they can move and could net the best return.
