According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, several Western Conference teams have been interested in forward Rui Hachimura, who is set to become a restricted free agent in July.
“The Wizards also have received interest from multiple teams on potential deals involving star forward Kyle Kuzma, but moving Hachimura would reduce a logjam at the forward spots and place the franchise in a better position financially to focus on re-signing Kuzma and potentially re-sign Kristaps Porziņģis in the offseason. As usual ahead of the trade deadline, the Wizards are keeping their options open on several fronts, including the possibility of playing this all out in the offseason.”
In 24.2 minutes per game, Hachimura is averaging 12.9 points on 49.2 percent shooting.
