    The Lakers say Dalton Knecht has been upgraded to probable, but that he's still feeling some residual sulking.

    My advice for DK: you're still an obscenely well-paid professional. You got caught in a business decision, ya felt dissed, ya sulk, ya get over it.

    So: go out there against Utah and go 6 for 8 from deep, ya knucklehead!

    guys will get hurt, and he'll get opportunities. needs to defend, though, as we're not in the player development business with the big squad right now.

    Are these all jokes or is there an actual reporting of any kind of "attitude" from him coming back to the Lakers other than probably happy (for now at least) it happened, all things considered?

    Pure conjecture based on timing and circumstance

    So pumped to see Redemption Knecht..I feel like he's the type that can bounce back from this type of s***.

    He did go off on Utah earlier this year, so maybe he goes off tonight if he gets into the game?

    Would love nothing more than to see Luka's debut become the Dalton Knecht Redemption game...

    I hope we do try and keep him and not deal him for the center this summer...we'll have $40M in expiring contracts plus 2031 pick and the 2030 swap to use as well...so we shoudl not NEED to include Dalton in any trades

    I don't know anything about how DK feels or thinks right now. I'm just riffing, hoping you can tell I'm full of crap and joking. Unless a guy comes out to the media and says something and it gets picked up to larger channels, I just don't see it. I don't have the time to look into all this kinda of stuff, and If I did have the time I still wouldn't.

    But, say, when Jimmy Butler holds a press conference and says he feels unloved, of course I see that. When superstar X says he's happy where he is, so stop talking about him being traded, I tend to see that stuff. But I got kicked off of Twitter 10 years ago for asking an honest question about the 1st Amendment, and I've never been back. Turned out to be a good thing, in my estimation.

    I would guess DK is happy to be back with us, but wary now that he's a tradable player. But I don't really know.

    Stop with all the conjectures, my boy is homeless right now because he prematurely terminated his lease after learning about the trade, just looking for some place to stay atm

    Not going to lie I’m worried about this kid’s psyche after being traded I understand why he’s upset we can all sympathize with him. I just hope he can pull himself together and still contribute to this team if the trade ends up standing.

    Process this….we process your check and you cash it. Stop being a wuss. It’s not like you’ve been with the Lakers for a decade. Buck up.
