Theresa Boyd+FollowIs Dalton Knecht Already Out in LA?Lakers Nation, what’s your take on Dalton Knecht after this Summer League? The 24-year-old sharpshooter just couldn’t get it going, shooting only 33% from the field and 25% from deep. For a team desperate for reliable rotation guys behind King James and AD, Knecht’s struggles are tough to ignore. Is it time for Rob Pelinka to move on and package him in a trade, or do you see any upside left? #Sports #Basketball #Lakers23Share

Theresa Boyd+FollowDid Lakers Drop the Ball on DFS Deal?Laker Nation, are we already missing Dorian Finney-Smith? Letting DFS walk to the Rockets—especially on a deal that’s only guaranteed for two years—feels like a huge miss by Rob Pelinka. Not only did Houston get a defensive ace for Luka’s old running mate, but King James and Doncic now have even more pressure on D.
