Does Dalton Knecht Have More Value to the Lakers or as a Trade Piece?

The NBA announced its All Rookie squads, and (not surprisingly) Dalton Knecht wasn't among the 10 honored first year players. To his credit, Knecht was relatively close, finishing in a tie for 13th in vote total. It's a fair result for a guy who had a lot of highs and lows over the course of the season. His strong suits were clear (shooting, offense, athleticism) and his weaknesses (defense) equally so. Now the Lakers, who have already shown a willingness to trade him, have to make a decision this offseason. Is the guy more valuable to them? Or as a lure to fill holes around the roster? The goal for LA is to build a team that works for Luka Dončić. Knecht fits that profile. He can shoot, he can get to the rim, he can finish above it. On the other hand, he's one of about 2.5 human beings on the roster who have genuine value as players (as opposed to an expiring contract) in a trade (the others being Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura). So Rob Pelinka, just as he does with Reaves, is going to be confronted with some tough choices about Knecht, too. Plus... could LeBron actually leave? There's one at least semi-plausible scenario.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Knecht gets some All-Rookie love. SEGMENT 2: What to do with DK?  SEGMENT 3: Could LeBron really go?  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!CarGurusBuy or sell your next car today with CarGurus at CarGurus.comto make sure your big deal is the best deal.SKIMSShop SKIMS Mens at SKIMS.com/lockedonnba. Let them know we sent you!
