Should the Lakers send their 9+3 shooter to the Eastern Conference? The Nets are the top destination, and two young players are also on the list.

The preseason has just begun, and the Lakers have suffered continuous blows. They all thought that James took a break in the preseason to conserve his energy later. Unexpectedly, he suffered from injuries and was expected to miss the opening stage of the game. So since James can't play, the pressure on Doncic has doubled. After all, most of the current Lakers are system players.

Local media suggested that the Lakers should send shooter Dalton Knect to the East. It is obvious that the latter's value will continue to decrease if he continues to stay with the Lakers. Among them, the Brooklyn Nets became the top destination, and the other two young teams, the Charlotte Hornets and the Toronto Raptors, were also on the list.

In fact, Knect has just entered the league, and his overall performance is quite good, and he has even become a surprise player several times. However, before the deadline of last season, in order to pursue Mark Williams, the Lakers almost completed the cooperation with the Hornets and sent Knecht to Charlotte. Although in the end the Lakers went back on their word and returned the opponent on the grounds that Mark Williams failed to pass the physical examination, allowing Knecht to return to the Lakers, but his condition has fluctuated. Of course, during the regular season, Knecht averaged 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, which is quite good for a rookie player. But Knecht basically had no effect in the playoffs. What's terrible is that in this summer league and preseason, he also seemed to have little effect. Therefore, many media reporters are worried that if the Lakers keep Knecht, his value will only decline further. It would be better for everyone to stop the loss in time.

For young players, the Nets are a very good choice because they are completely rebuilt. If you can produce good data and let the Nets pick up the slack, it is naturally best to increase your worth and strive for a big contract. On the other hand, if your performance is poor, the Nets can use you as a weapon to maximize your playing time and win high draft picks. Except for Cameron Thomas and the newly acquired Michael Porter, the Nets' other players may not even understand how to score points, so it will be easy for Knecht to accumulate data.

As for the Hornets and Raptors, they are actually in a similar situation. The Hornets play an open style, and the pitchers can actually benefit greatly from LaMelo Ball. The Raptors are in another situation. In the current expected rotation, only Dick has a better shot, and the other players have relatively rough skills. Then if Knecht regains his touch, he can open up space on the court, which is also crucial for the Raptors.
