To improve their position in the league, Los Angeles Lakers are taking big measures. Recently, the Los Angeles franchise added reinforcements around stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis. According to recent reports, the Lakers traded Washington Wizards forward, Rui Hachimura. Moreover, Lakers legend Magic Johnson was one of the first who approved of the trade.

To complete the deal, the Lakers will send Kendrick Nunn and three second-round draft picks to Washington. It was recently reported that Hachimura was questioned extensively about his trade during an interview on Saturday night before the trade was confirmed. 

To the question “Did you ask for a trade?”, he answered, “No comment.” Although the trade discussion started earlier with the Lakers, there was one question that had everyone’s attention. The reason for considering drafting a player they drafted ninth overall in 2019. In light of the news conference that took place in a Capital One Arena hallway, the silence seems to explain a lot.

Rui Hachimura this season

Hachimura currently averages 24.3 minutes per game, which may be considered good since he made some good numbers with the Wizards. On Saturday’s match, he produced 30 points in 30 minutes as Kyle Kuzma added 25 points to give the team a better chance of winning.

A win over Orlando Magic was recorded by the Wizards by 138-118. In response to the question about the trade, Hachimura didn’t delve into his trade with a “no comment”. Also, when asked about the deal by the media, the Lakers’ new star replied, “I don’t know.” Many fans have expressed their reactions pointing to his awry smile.  Below are some tweets from fans.
