Good Morning Dub Nation,
The big news coming out of yesterday was the trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Washington Wizards. The Lakers traded Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks for the Wizards’ former ninth-overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, Rui Hachimura. Although the deal itself is minor, it helps set a reasonable market for teams that are considering a move before the NBA Trade Deadline on Feb. 9 — a list which could potentially include the Golden State Warriors.
Also of note: This trade helps set the market to a more realistic place.
