The Sacramento Kings receive Rui Hachimura from the Lakers in this Bleacher Report mock trade.
crafted a three-team mock trade centered around star point guard LaMelo Ball that would impact Sacramento's core. Hughes' hypothetical trade:
The Kings have a plethora of guards after re-signing Malik Monk, drafting Devin Carter, and picking up Jordan McLaughlin in free agency, so the idea of shipping away Kevin Huerter is not out of the ordinary.in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Wizards sent Hachimura to the Lakers in 2023, where they believed he could be an effective two-way presence.Hachimura started 39 of 68 games for L.A. last season, averaging 15.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game with efficient 57.5/43.9/72.
If the Kings were to swap Huerter and a future second-round pick for a reliable backup wing like Hachimura, it would likely put them in a better position to contend than they are now. For a team that lacks size, adding Hachimura fits a positional need and would help with their struggling defense. One glaring problem with this deal is the Kings would likely be hesitant to help facilitate a trade that gives their division rival Lakers a star point guard like LaMelo Ball.
