“I got Dalton. I’ve heard that he’s been locked in for the last, you know, 2–3 weeks in L.A., you know, working out 2–3 times a day,” Reaves told Lakers reporter Trevor Lane on Tuesday.

The Lakers have one pick to trade, which is from the 2031 draft. They have five pick swaps, and neither would be favorable. Their best shot at trades rests on their available players. Dalton Knecht is one of the most popular names floated around in every scenario, considering he was their first-round pick last year.
