On July 23, the NBA entered the offseason. Lakers star Kneckett performed very poorly in this summer league. In response, Lakers reporter Jovan Buha pointed out in an interview that Kneckett's current trading value has shrunk significantly.

In this summer league, Kneckett averaged 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 27.9%, three-point shooting percentage 23.8%, and free throw shooting percentage 33.3%. As a shooter, it is obvious that such performance is unqualified, especially considering that Kneckett has spent his rookie season, such a summer league performance is even more unacceptable, which has led to him being criticized a lot.

In this regard, Lakers reporter Jovan Buha talked about Kneckett's current situation on his personal podcast program: "Kneckett's trading value after the summer league has shrunk significantly, and the league teams no longer regard him as a first-round pick pick. The summer league has not helped his market, and I think he is no longer regarded as a first-round pick-level asset at the moment. This is the view I got after communicating with multiple people in Las Vegas, who are not insiders of the Lakers."

Then Jovan Buha continued: "It's just that everyone is discussing and asking what chips are you willing to pay if you want to trade Kneckett? Or, if the Lakers include him in the trade, how much is he worth? The feedback I have received is that he is no longer worth the valuation of the first-round draft pick."

It should be noted that in the middle of last season, the Lakers exchanged Mark Williams with Kneckett as the main body, but the deal ended up failing. Many media pointed out that it was after the transaction failed that Kneckett's performance began to decline. What do you think about the prospects of this new star?
