The Kings make the decision, the Lakers lose another goal to strengthen, and Pelinka faces the challenge. How should he deal with him?

According to the NBA China official website report: After the replacement of the new general manager, the king will not be pushed to reconstruction this summer.

Not rebuilt?

In fact, the ninth king of the regular season just fell in the play-offs. In other words, it has not yet reached the point of reconstruction. I mean, DeRozan averages 22+4+4, Raven averages 22+4+4, and Sabonis Jr. is 19+14+6 per game, and he can compete for one year around the three.

Of course, with the Kings' decision, there is a missing goal for the Lakers to strengthen. In short, if the former "supermarket" opens this summer, it will be difficult for Pelinka to trade three core players, but there is still a high probability that high-quality role players like Hult and Ellis will be traded.

When it comes to the Lakers' strengthening, it is difficult to bypass rookie Dalton Kneckett. How good is Kneckett performing before the All-Star?

In terms of data, he averaged 9.4 points per game and ranked 6th in the same rookie. In a single game, there are 25+ consecutive games against the Jazz and Pelicans; against the Jazz, Pelicans, 76ers, and Thunder, they all hit 5+ with three-pointers at no less than 50% + three-pointers.

Characteristics, three-point shooting accounts for 61.6% of the three-point shooting rate, with a average of 1.6 goals per game. In short, three points are the main ending method and have excellent efficiency. In addition, there is another point about three-pointers - strong shots.

Knector's three-pointer rate is 35.4% when the defender is 2-4 feet. In comparison, Cameron Johnson was 38.5%, Clay was 36.9%, and Duncan Robinson was 37.1%. In other words, although he is only a rookie, Kneckett already has the ability to make a strong three-point shot of an elite shooter.

In summary, regardless of the data or the characteristics it showed, Kneckett far exceeded the No. 17 pick. Of course, this is why Anji named it and asked for in Kessler's trading plan - being able to be regarded by the "old fox" means that performance and cultivation are recognized.

However, to be precise, after the All-Star post was returned, why did Knector's playing time plummet - averaging 17.0 minutes per game in January, 13.5 minutes per game in February, 13.2 minutes per game in March, and 13.8 minutes per game in April.

Kneckett is in bad condition?

In April alone, he averaged 45.5% of his three-point shooting average and 1.7 goals per game. From this perspective, Kneckett is in a bad state. Then Redick doesn't give a chance, it's up to date.

Of course, for whatever reason, what Kneckett brings is a decline in transaction value. In addition, from the perspective of the player, there must be an emotional existence in the heart. So, this summer I think Kneckett needs to be dealt with, which is reflected in two points:

1. If the player's value is recognized, how to comfort the emotions;

2. If the player's value is not recognized, how to trade to maximize profits.

Relatively speaking, I think the second point is the main reason.

The first point is that after all, Kennett is not a superstar like Curry, Durant, and Leonard. If the emotions cannot be affected by DNP - although it is extreme, there is a solution in the end.

But what about the second point?

At present, from the fact that Redick deliberately does not give opportunities, the management is silent, Kneckett is basically not in the team's future plans. Potentially, it is likely to be traded this summer.

First of all, for rebuilding teams like the Jazz, Hornets, and Wizards, Kneckett is still attractive if he shows certain shooting ability. But they will never trade in the first round, and even equivalent players will not be able to play. This is just like the Pelicans traded Thick Brows in the past. Even though they knew that the chips given by the Lakers were not equal, there was no way - the cracks between the players and the team could no longer be repaired. Although

Kneckett did not achieve the influence of Thick Brow, the truth is the same.

Secondly, from the Lakers' perspective, Kneckett was selected in the first round, since the transaction must be to withdraw the first round or equivalent players. But the problem is that after a estrangement with the players, no matter which team they trade with, they have no advantage. If the players are not guaranteed, they will also help the opponent's team to make a price cut.

In summary, it is very difficult for Pelinka to maximize profits when the transaction value of Kneckett is reduced, and there is a gap between the team and not in the team's future plans. But from the side, this is also a test of his ability.
