The Los Angeles Lakers have made their position clear as the trade deadline approaches. Rui Hachimura is not untouchable, but he is also not being shopped around just for the sake of wanting to make a move. If he is included in a deal, it is because the Lakers believe it makes them better right now. They do not have many tradable assets that draw real interest around the league, which naturally puts Hachimura in trade conversations. As productive as Hachimura has been, the Lakers’ biggest issues are still on the defensive end.
