Lake media expects Xiao Ke to be packaged for trade: It is recommended to go to two first rounds to chase Kessler + Kessler, and can recast the defense

On May 14, Laker Tom reported that the Lakers' first-round pick Dalton Kneckett is expected to be packaged and sent away in a large deal.

In the article, he mentioned that the transaction between the Lakers and the Hornets had actually been reached before the trading deadline. Kneckett was sent to Charlotte and Marvel came to Los Angeles, but was eventually stopped due to some internal problems. From this, it can be seen that the Lakers management hopes to exchange Kobe for inside assets.

Secondly, Knector averaged 8.5 points per game in the regular season, shooting 45.6% from the field and 40.8% from the three-point shooting percentage, but he only played in less than 4 minutes in the first round of the playoffs, which shows that he has completely lost Redick's trust. In the offseason, the Lakers may choose to trade Knector in order to make up for the shortcomings of the lineup.

I didn't expect that Lake Media hoped that the team's deal would be the Utah Jazz. I felt that Danny Angie and Robert Pelinka must have some personal relationship. The Lakers and Jazz have completed too many transactions.

Laker Tom wrote: The Lakers need a championship-level center, they need to recast the defense and give Doncic a threat point and rebounder to a high-loop.

The Lakers can only give up two talented young assets, Reeves and Kneckett, as well as two first-round picks (2027 and 2031). This deal can help the Lakers get future starting center Kessler, who is enough to fight against any No. 5 position in the NBA, and Clarkson can also become the most important scoring point on the Lakers' bench. In the transaction simulation plan, the Lakers sent out Reeves, Kneckett, the first round of protection in 2027, and the first round of protection in 1-30 in 2031, Kessler, Clarkson, the second round of the Jazz in 2029, and the second round of the Heat in 2031.

The Lakers' starters will be Doncic, James, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, and Kessler. There is a taller starting lineup. Of course, the Lakers will not rule out that they will sign another number two position.
