LeGM think he slick 😂
Dang, he got *both* his favorites.
What are the odds?
Sure buddy
“I honestly think that Dalton is one of the best rookies in this class, he might even be the 2nd best rookie on our team”
The disrespect to Edey.
I’m sure he was LeBron
Lmao. Company man thru and thru.
Ask lebron how to say “Knecht”
If you’re a fringe player and lebron starts talking you up, you might want to start packing a few things.
Fargo Kobe
“Yeah I actually remember seeing Dalton play a high school game at 15 years old in rural Colorado and I texted Rob and said ‘this kid is gonna be a future Laker.’”
He did mention him and Edey as a game he watched during last season, and watching specifically for Knecht and Edey.
Get that trade value up Bron. Another crisp young asset for LeGm to put in the trade machine. Dalton, rent don’t buy
Shades of “that’s my favorite saying”
LeGM
He got Shabazz Napier’d. Kiss of death
Lecap James at it again
Lebron got his shooter
“And then I told The Rock to watch out for this kid Dalton”
Knetch Is the next nabazz shapier confirmed
(Kidding I love Dalton. He’s going to be a baller)
Dalton gonna get invited to Taco Tuesday at the James residence at this rate
Kiss of death vote of confidence from LeScout. Hate to see it.
Knecht the White Justise Winslow

People gonna shit on bron for this, because it’s almost certainly not true, but he’s just gassing up his guys. He always does this and I see nothing wrong with it
LeCap strikes again

LeCap James at it again.
Knecht was one of the best players in the country last season so he’s probably not lying this time.
Lakers got a steal.
Fuck them!
It’s crazy that the best two players in the draft both fell to the Lakers. What’s with the others teams just letting these two generational talents just go to LA? They should definitely tip the balance of power in the West. Just when OKC, Dallas and Denver were about to make some noise, the NBA gives the Lakers these guys.
Wake up, honey, new LeBron lie just dropped
Dalton Knect is an annoyingly great pick for the lakers at 17.
Lealwaysseesitfirst
First time reading his name. I’m confused why it’s pronounced “connect”. Best of luck to the young man. I’ll try and educate myself on that name.
Man Lebron is such a lame
lmao crazy to think that a storied franchise like the lakers are just letting Lebron make all the player personnel decisions
Imagine scoring 32 points , and all you see if clips and articles on brony James going 2-9 and looking like a teenage kid out there Lmao
“As I was watching the draft, I just knew he would fall to 17 and we’d be able to pick him.”
LeBiased
Every GM somehow gets exactly the player they want at the spot they are picking regardless of who it is/what the pick is.
