Lakers Willing to Add Dalton Knecht to Jonathan Kuminga Trade Package

The Los Angeles Lakers are escalating their interest in Jonathan Kuminga, showing a willingness to sweeten a potential trade offer to land the dynamic forward.

As reported by BasketNews, NBA insider Brett Siegel revealed on the Clutch Scoops podcast that Los Angeles is open to building a sign-and-trade package around Jarred Vanderbilt. To seal a deal, Siegel noted that the Lakers would also be willing to include rookie guard Dalton Knecht if required.

That willingness to sacrifice both Vanderbilt and Knecht underscores how far Los Angeles might be prepared to go to bring Kuminga into the fold.
