Calls Mount for Dalton Knecht Trade After Lakers' Loss to Warriors
Calls Mount for Dalton Knecht Trade After Lakers' Loss to Warriors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers guard Dalton Knecht is entering his second NBA season. Despite playing in 78 games during his rookie season, Knecht saw his role fluctuate quite a bit. He was also nearly traded to the Charlotte Hornets at the February trade deadline, but the deal was rescinded after Los Angeles failed Mark Williams on his physical. Advertisement Given his up-and-down rookie campaign, Knecht was placed on the Lakers' Summer League roster to get more reps before his second professional season. Tipping off with California Classic play on Saturday, the Lakers were at Chase Center for a Summer matchup against the Golden State Warriors. LA fell 89-84 to Golden State. Los Angeles Lakers guard Dalton Knecht (4) and guard Bronny James (9)Jonathan Hui-Imagn Images Second-year guard Bronny James is also on LA's roster this summer, but he was held out for the California Classic opener. This left Knecht with even more opportunities, as he was one of the more experienced players in the Lakers' starting five on Saturday. A three-year college player, Knecht is 24 years old, placing him on the older side at Summer League. Lakers fans were hoping that would translate to some strong play, but that did not take place in the summer opener. Advertisement Playing 30 minutes, Knecht scored 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting, prompting Lakers fans to call for a trade. "Trade dalton knecht," one fan posted. "Alright yeah trade Knecht he is no good," said another. "At this point trade Knecht and a first for Wiggins," one added. "Maybe the lakers were on to something when they tried to trade knecht," wrote one. "Trade Knecht Shake and Gabe for anything," one implored. "Yeah trade knecht @Lakers," wrote another.

Dalton Knecht's Message to Lakers After Shaky Debut
Dalton Knecht's Message to Lakers After Shaky Debut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dalton Knecht had a strong first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, parlaying his strong final season at Tennessee into a rotational role where he appeared in 78 games and averaged 9.1 points. Advertisement But Knecht stumbled out of the gate in the first action of his second season, struggling in the team's summer league debut on Saturday. The team's first-round pick from 2024 suited up for the California Classic, with the Lakers losing 89-87 to the Golden State Warriors. Knecht scored just 10 points in Saturday's game, going 3-for-13 from the field including 0-for-6 from behind the 3-point arc. After the game, Knecht sent a strong message to his Lakers teammates vowing to improve. 'It took a while for me to get going; I didn't get going at all,' Knecht said. 'I just have to come out ready to play better tomorrow and shake off the rust. My teammates were great, they came out competing, picking up full court, rebounding and crashing the glass, so I'm proud of my team.' Advertisement Los Angeles Lakers forward Dalton Knecht (4) against the Golden State Yamashita-Imagn Images Despite the shaky performance, Knecht has been working hard to improve after his first season with the Lakers. The 24-year-old told Dave McMenamin of ESPN that he has been doing three-a-day workouts since the season ended a few weeks ago. 'Starting at 6, I started since the season ended, right after the loss, pretty much started right away," Knecht said. "Didn't take any time off, so just getting in the gym starting at 6 a.m. and then going with the guys at 10 and coming back later at night to get up as many shots as I can and just working on my game and craft.'

How The 2025 Season Could Be Franchise-Altering For Cowboys' Dak Prescott
How The 2025 Season Could Be Franchise-Altering For Cowboys' Dak Prescott originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will enter the 2025 season with a target placed firmly on his back. Advertisement Fighting a narrative of being consistently sidelined (only two full seasons in the last five years) and his failures in the playoffs, Prescott has it all to do to try to end those narratives. Now, I'm a glass-half-full type of person, and when looking at Prescott's body of work, yeah, it's solid, but as most will attest to, the playoff failures are what most people cling to. But Prescott has the chance to do something that, while unlikely, if he were to pull it off, might be his biggest and best achievement yet. As Prescott enters Year 10, there are a few things he could accomplish that would solidify his standing in Cowboys history, and despite all of the hate he receives, it would quieten them all down. Advertisement What am I talking about? Let's get to it. As things stand, Prescott needs just 2,747 passing yards to be the all-time franchise leader, 36 touchdowns to overtake Tony Romo as the all-time leader, and 19 wins to be the franchise leader in that too. Detroit Lions DT D.J. Reader getting pressure on Dak PrescottAndrew Dieb-Imagn Images Now, the wins won't happen, that will likely take place next season, but Prescott has thrown 36 touchdowns in a year before (twice, other was 37 in 2021), and it would likely mean the Cowboys win a lot of games (Dallas won 11 and 12 games in his two years of 36+ touchdowns). So, there is a chance that Prescott, by the end of the 2025 season, will be Dallas' all-time leader in yards and touchdowns and could be a few wins shy of having that record too (thanks to a deep playoff run). Advertisement If he is to have a season many think he is capable of, he could also break the playoff drought, winning more than one game in the postseason. Yes, it is a little outlandish, but Prescott, over the next 18 months, is on track to be the franchise leader in all key stats, overtaking Romo, Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach. The only thing missing would be a Super Bowl to tie it all together.
