As things have taken a new, difficult turn for the Lakers' young forward, Green pointed to Knecht's representatives as the reason behind his struggles in LA. "Dalton Knecht is not expected to make the Lakers' regular-season roster, as the team has 16 guaranteed contracts and can only carry 15. Apparently, Bronny James and Jaden Hardy have outplayed him in camp, making him the odd man out. It's crazy because Knecht seemed to have some promise, but after the trade that would have sent him to the Hornets and brought Mark Williams to the Lakers was voided, he has been in purgatory ever since," the Golden State Warriors star said on the latest episode of his The Draymond Green Show. "Ultimately, I think it ruined him. I blame his agent because, the moment the trade fell through, the agent should have been working to get him out of LA."
Draymond Green: "Dalton Knecht is not expected to make the Lakers' regular season roster. Lakers have 16 guaranteed contracts and going into the season you can only have 15 guaranteed contracts. Apparently, Bronny James and Jaden Hardy have been outplaying him in camp and he's viewed as the odd man out. And it's crazy because Dalton Knecht seemed to like he had a little bit of promise to him, but after that trade that got voided by the Hornets to bring him in and send Mark Williams to the Lakers, the Lakers voided the trade because of Mark Williams' back. Dalton Knecht just been in purgatory ever since and ultimately I think it ruined him."
Duane Rankin: Suns coach Jordan Ott essentially said he wants to decide on starting center between Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Malauch "a couple of days" before Oct. 21 season opener at Portland Trail Blazers. “We’ve got two soldiers that are going to come in, compete, do what’s best for the team. Who starts, who finishes, it’s going to change. Every night is a little bit different. Matchups different, but once you get a starting center, you want to keep him for as long as you can until you have to make a change.” Mark Williams (shoulder) will be out several months due to injury. #Suns
