What happened
The Lakers reportedly have 16 players and not enough roster spots to keep everyone, so they are exploring trade options before Opening Night.
Brett Siegel said Dalton Knecht is unlikely to remain with the team long term, while the Lakers have also been trying to move Jarred Vanderbilt without finding much traction.
LINEUP CONTEXT
This points to a pending roster trim, so any final rotation picture remains unsettled until Los Angeles completes a trade or another move.
