Lakers discuss potential trade involving Dalton Knecht and Ben Sheppard

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering a trade involving Dalton Knecht and the Indiana Pacers as part of their offseason strategy. An Indiana Pacers beat writer suggested a proposal where Knecht would join the Pacers in exchange for Ben Sheppard and a second-round pick. Knecht, who has struggled to find consistent playing time, averaged 4.2 points this season, while Sheppard has shown promise as a 3-and-D player for the Pacers. With offseason moves approaching, the Lakers look to strengthen their roster, especially with bench depth in mind.
