With the NBA trade deadline one week away, one name that has come up trade rumors is Los Angeles Lakers second-year wing Dalton Knecht. Dalton Knecht and his representatives have reportedly already approached the Lakers front office and asked for a trade by the deadline, a request that is expected to be granted, as per Anthony Irwin of Offside. The Lakers had already attempted to trade Knecht during his rookie season, but the initially agreed upon trade with the Charlotte Hornets involving Mark Williams was eventually rescinded after the Lakers’ concerns over Williams’ health. This season, Knecht has largely been out of the rotation save for a few games when the team was dealing with injury issues. He’s appeared in 36 games this season, including one start, at a little over 12 minutes per game.
