The Los Angeles Lakers on Monday assigned former first-round pick Dalton Knecht to their G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers. The post Lakers Make Major Decision on Former 1st Round Pick Amid Trade Rumors appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Los Angeles Lakers are playing a waiting game with their future draft picks, and there is a reason why they have resisted going all-in. According to Lakers insider Jovan Buha, the organization is keeping its powder dry with one massive name in mind: Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Two trade targets that come to mind are Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins, who was connected to the Lakers during the offseason and New Orleans Pelicans forward Herb Jones. Both could tremendously help L.A.’s perimeter defense, but their availability remains a question mark.

The New York Knicks have been urged to trade for LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, sending a fan favorite to Hollywood.
