A person familiar with the negotiations says the Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring former lottery pick Rui Hachimura from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kendrick Nunn and a package of second-round draft picks. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been finalized and approved by the NBA. The person said the teams are working under the expectation that the deal will be completed later Monday. Hachimura and the Wizards didn’t agree on a rookie extension before the season started. That prompted speculation that the Japanese power forward wouldn’t be in their long-term plans.
