    It feels like Dalton is deliberately lowering his value so he doesn’t get traded.

    Sabotage your own value?

    Not sure about that

    This has to be in his head

    He needs to get out of the funk and grow a set

    Just not the brightest tool in the shed. it's too bad that combination of athleticism and shooting is just very very rare.

    It's not that rare.

    They're just too expensive for the Lakers.

    Tough to find an athletic 3/D player because those go for $15-20 million starting.

    tbh, shooters like knecht minus athleticism still go for 15+. duncan robinson just got re-signed to that number for 3 years, right?

    He might feel like he's too good, to be playing in the summer league?

    possible. also possible he's pressing a bit. also possible he's been told to work on other things. and he's also not a guy who can play summer league streetball without a pg. didn't we have that bald guy last year? yeah, kuhse! you just can't roll out there without a pg when the refs are letting extremely desperate folks just mug ballhandlers to make it to the league.

    anyway, none of that excuses that he's just a big zero out there on both ends amongst a bunch of guys who likely return to non-basketball jobs in two weeks.

    it's rough.

    Didn't he say he idolized Kobe, a guy who took every single game seriously

    Are we sure he wasn't talking about Coby Karl?
