He could've been Dalton Kingecht but he made the wrong choice!
3. u/Ok-Completion · 2026-10-23 15:23 UTC
I think he’ll be all right
4. u/guacamoleandtomato · 2026-10-23 15:27 UTC
Yeah he will probably be really good at clapping when Kat or Brunson make a bucket. Passing the Gatorade out is also a really useful skill

Didn’t know a loose seal ate Dalton Knect’s left hand!
6. u/pawner · 2026-10-23 16:32 UTC
Lucille the loose seal

It'd be horrible for his development if you don't allow him to go left too.
8. u/AlonsoQ · 2026-10-23 16:00 UTC
Dalton Wizardsecht was right there
9. u/AtBat3 · 2026-10-23 15:20 UTC
This is good, solid work here.

I've always thought Knecht 4 woulda stuck tbh
11. u/oochiewallyWallyserb · 2026-10-23 17:24 UTC
Can't even use 4 or 44 on the knicks. He might have to switch it up.
12. u/CrazyFart · 2026-10-23 15:36 UTC
Knickt (in) 4
13. u/PanthalassaRo · 2026-10-23 17:20 UTC
God's plan.

lakers to knicks
couldn’t get any bigger
should’ve chucked him into milwaukee

Yeah if I were fighting for my NBA career after faltering in the LA spotlight the last place I’d wanna go is the other biggest market lol, but obviously we don’t really know what his options were.

You would think the best move would be to go to a rebuilding team and go kill over there.
17. u/SoeurLouise · 2026-10-23 16:06 UTC
The trade-off being that if you don’t play well at a bottom feeder team that’s probably your last chance in the league
18. u/randotd152 · 2026-10-23 16:52 UTC
This is his last chance regardless. Dude was an old draft pick. He turns 26 this season.
The entire lottery appeal on him was he was an NBA ready high floor but low ceiling kind of guy. Guess teams knew what they were doing when he slid down the draft.
19. u/ASS_BASHER · 2026-10-23 16:33 UTC
It's probably harder for him to excel on a rebuilding team compared to playing on a team with a more established offense/identity so his coach knows where to put him. He's basically just a spot-up shooter. If he joins a team without a good point guard, that would make him look worse.
20. u/BZGames · 2026-10-23 17:17 UTC
I mean it’s also possible this was just the offer he got. Dalton Knecht isn’t exactly a player teams are amped to have on their team.
