Lakers Aggressively Shopped Dalton Knecht at Deadline

The Los Angeles Lakers aggressively shopped Dalton Knecht at the trade deadline but found no takers. After a promising start, his sophomore season has been a 'complete non-factor,' averaging 4.6 points on 44.4% shooting and 31.3% from three in 41 games. Despite the Lakers picking up his 2026-27 option, he is likely to be traded in the offseason. His stock has fallen dramatically, and he has failed to capitalize on increased playing time due to injuries.
