The Los Angeles Lakers are set to waive forward Dalton Knecht as trading him becomes part of a wider four-team deal following Deandre Ayton's departure. The move follows amid criticism of Knecht's recent performance against Cameron Carr during summer action.
News of the trade plan emerged on Sunday. Reports from leading outlets indicate the Lakers are restructuring their roster. Knecht had drawn scrutiny after his display against Carr, a teammate. The four-team deal marks the Lakers' next move after Ayton departed from the franchise.
