Rui Hachimura not expected to return to Lakers, focus on Jonathan Kuminga

There is a corresponding (and growing) expectation that free agent forward Rui Hachimura will join James in exiting Tinseltown.

The Lakers, league sources say, are focused on adding a wing and another big man after Friday’s agreement with Washington to trade Deandre Ayton for the slightly less expensive Jaden Hardy and two future second-round picks.

And a good bit of that focus, sources say, has involved Kuminga.
