According to Shams, the Wizards have opened trade talks with multiple teams about Hachimura.
Many Western teams with reinforcement needs on the inside have shown some interest in Hachimura, but they are more interested in Kuzma than Hachimura.
However, the Wizards have no intention of trading Kuzma, at least for now, Kuzma is still the focus of the Wizards' training.
But the Wizards are open to a trade for Hachimura and will seek a trade this summer if they don't trade it this season.
It is rumored that the Wizards are so anxious to trade Hachimura, also because of Kuzma, who is facing renewal problems this summer, but now the Wizards do not have enough space, and if they trade Hachimura, they can free up some space.
This trade, if the trade is not good, Hachimura's survival in the NBA is estimated to be in trouble.
At the time of the draft, Hachimura also caused quite a stir, at least the Japanese people were quite happy.
After all, Hachimura was selected with the 9th pick in the first round, the highest pick selected by a Japanese player, and the first person to be selected.
But now Hachimura's presence in the NBA is not even as good as Yuta Watanabe's draft.
It seems that after the Tokyo Olympics, Hachimura has been very difficult. There were rumors that Hachimura was exposed to psychological problems by the Japanese fan network because of the Tokyo Olympics, and now that I look at it, this rumor may have some credibility.
Before the Tokyo Olympics, Hachimura averaged 31.5 minutes per game, 13.8 minutes, 5.5 boards and 1.4 assists.
As a result, after the Tokyo Olympics, Hachimura did not return to the team for a long time, and there were all rumors at that time. After his return, Hachimura also revealed that he had been solving psychological problems, and that season Hachimura only played 42 games, averaging 22.5 minutes per game, and was able to get 11.3 points, 3.8 boards and 1.1 assists.
Maybe because of the trading turmoil, the state of Hachimura Cheng today has also been affected, and the mentality has collapsed?!
Today the Wizards won 116-105 against the Knicks
But Hachimura played 14 minutes in the first half, shooting 0-of-4, 0-of-3 from three-pointers, 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
He played only 6 minutes in the second half, shooting 0-of-7 from the field and 0-of-6 from three-pointers, and still finished with 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Kuzma shot 11 of 24 and scored 27 points, 13 boards, 7 assists, 1 block and 1 block.
Today's game is basically the abbreviation of Hachimura this season, from one of the players that the team focuses on developing, to now becoming a substitute and becoming marginal.
It is said that Kuzma stole his place, but the question is if he is hard enough, who can take your things?
