Wizards Should Inquire on Lakers Second-Year Pro

We live in times when people are sensitive. The smallest thing or situation could upset someone. The reason behind this could be due to social media. Everything is posted, and everyone always has a camera out, recording every moment, every chance they get. This makes things feel bigger than they are. We need privacy at times, and quite frankly, nobody ever has privacy anymore. That is why it is hard to be a professional athlete. We forget the NBA is a business at times. One player of the Los Angeles Lakers experienced this. The Washington Wizards should take this as an opportunity to improve their team.

With the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the LA Lakers selected Dalton Knecht from the Tennessee Volunteers. One of the best players to have on your team is players who have a lot of experience and is ready to contribute right away. Knecht spent five years in college. He was the oldest player in the 2024 NBA Draft. That may be a huge reason why the Lakers drafted him, as LeBron James prefers to play with players with experience. Things started great for Knecht. However, once he learned he was traded away to the rival of the Wizards, the Charlotte Hornets, things changed drastically. The problem that existed was the trade being cancelled due to a failed physical by another player. Knecht struggled, and his morale hit rock bottom since that time.
