Nunn was a member of the All-Rookie team in 2019-20 with the Heat. He averaged 15.3 points and started 67 games. He appeared on the way to a long career in Miami until the Heat did not re-sign him in the summer of 2021. He then signed with the Lakers, where he has failed to reach the success he had in Miami. After missing all 2021-22 with a knee injury, Nunn has averaged just 6.2 points and made just two starts this season.

The Lakers are looking to bolster LeBron James' lineup by acquiring Hachimura, the No. 9 pick in the 2019 draft. He's averaged 13 points and 5.1 rebounds during his career and is coming off a 30-point game against the Orlando Magic.
