The Los Angeles Lakers have been searching for trades all season that could improve the roster and that's why the team pulled the trigger on a deal on Monday, according to JeffZillgitt
Los Angeles is 22-25 and in 12th place in the Western Conference but just two games behind the sixth-place Los Angeles Clippers.
Hachimura, the No. 9 pick in the 2019 draft, averages 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and shoots 48.8% from the field but his minutes per have decreased since his rookie season as the Wizards built a roster deep at the forward position. The Wizards and Hachimura did not reach a deal on a rookie extension before the season, and as other teams began surveying the Wizards roster, it was believed he was available in a deal. Hachimura is headed for restricted free agency with the Lakers after this season.
With the Lakers, Hachimura should receive better scoring opportunities and provide a physical presence as a wing defender.
