US media plans a tripartite deal on draft night. The Lakers may send away 9+3 shooters, and are they expected to win the 8th sign this year?

According to the predictions of many media and reporters, this year's draft will be very crazy, and many players will directly switch teams, so there will naturally be more potential transactions. As the draft night approaches, rumors and scandals continue, and fans can't wait to see what crazy things will happen next week.

US media wrote a long article and planned a group of tripartite transactions on draft nights. The Lakers may send away scorer Dalton Kneckett and are expected to win the No. 8 pick this year. From the specific plan, in addition to getting the No. 8 pick, the Lakers also have a draft pick, which is also the No. 36 pick in the second round provided by the Nets; Dalton Kneckett was sent to the Trail Blazers, and they also got the first four picks in 2027 to protect the first round draft pick; as a third party, in addition to the No. 11 pick in the first round, the Nets also won the 2031 draft pick.

We can find that except for Dalton Kneckett, all other chips are draft picks, and of course Dalton Kneckett has just finished his rookie season. To be fair, he performed very well. As a substitute, he averaged 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, and quickly showed his ability to shoot through the 100-step. However, the Lakers really don't have any special trust in Dalton Kneckett. They sent him to the Hornets in the middle of the season, which means Mark Williams was returned, and he returned to the Lakers team. Even so, Dalton Kneckett sat on the bench on the playoffs and only played for 4 minutes in total. If there is a good chance this year and get a top ten pick, the Lakers will obviously consider taking action.

The Trail Blazers may need more reliable rotation players than draft picks. After all, after playing for so long, the Trail Blazers have already had a lot of potential players, and there is not so much time and resources left for new players, and they have to achieve results as soon as possible. Dalton Kneckett is very in line with the needs of the Trail Blazers. He has shown good combat power and is very young. He can take advantage of his rookie bonus while increasing his outside projection firepower and wing depth.

The Nets are actually very simple. They turned 8+36 into the No. 11 pick, and logically speaking, the ranking has declined. But the Nets are just trying to win. By 2031, the Lakers' record will take a sharp turn for the worse, and there is even a possibility of reconstruction. At that time, the Lakers' first round pick would have a very high value, so from this plan alone, the three teams each took their own needs, and they all had their own small plans. No one obviously took advantage or became a sucker.
