Dave: The Lakers have received several trade offers recently, most of which are related to Kneckett

On June 15, with Aquaman Adams successfully renewing his contract with the Rockets (39 million US dollars in three years), there was another blue-collar center available for NBA teams to choose, which is undoubtedly bad news for the Lakers who are eager to strengthen the inside.

Since the road to "Adams" has been completely blocked, the Lakers can only find ways to break the situation from other blue-collar centers. Currently, some sources say Nets center Clarkston and Jazz center Kessler are the most likely candidates for the Lakers to fill the gap in the interior.

As for trading chips, ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin learned that Kneckett is likely to become the core chip for the Lakers to introduce blue-collar centers, because the Lakers have recently received multiple trading quotes, most of which are related to Kneckett and the first round pick in 2031.

As we all know, in February this year, the Lakers used Kneckett + 2031 first-round pick + Reddish + 2030 first-round swap rights to exchange 23-year-old Hornets center Mark Williams.

Although this deal was eventually cancelled by the Lakers, various signs indicate that in the eyes of many NBA teams, Kneckett + the first round of 2031 pick has a high trading value.
