The Los Angeles Lakers signed off on a blockbuster trade with the Washington Wizards on Monday, according to multiple reports. The Lakers reportedly agreed to acquire former first-round pick Rui Hachimura from the Wizards for Kendrick Nunn and a package of second-round picks, The Associated Press reported. Neither the Lakers nor the Wizards have announced the trade. Hachimura and the Wizards failed to agree to a rookie extension before the season started, which started the speculation over whether he would be in their future plans. Sources told ESPN the Lakers acquired Hachimura with the intention of signing him to an extension.
