Although the NBA trade deadline may have passed, there are plenty of future trades that could shape the league. The Los Angeles Lakers trade that sent Dalton Knecht to the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams was rescinded, meaning Knecht will remain a Laker in the foreseeable future.
However, given the Lakers’ need to improve their roster and Luka Doncic’s arrival, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Lakers could put Knecht back on the trade block again if they want to bring in more talent.
The 23-year-old sharpshooter is enjoying an impressive rookie season, in which he’s averaging 9.4 points on 46.4% shooting from the field and 35.5 from downtown. He’s managed to show flashes of being a reliable scorer, and given his age and unique ability to put the ball in the hoop, he should get the Lakers a decent haul if the franchise wants to trade him again.
