10月16日，体育新闻传来消息，湖人队与密尔沃基雄鹿队就交易克内克特及选秀权进行商讨，目标为获得雄鹿队中锋希姆斯，然而双方进展情况并不理想。
体育评论员Trevor Lane对这笔交易的可能性进行了探讨：“是否应该考虑将希姆斯带回湖人？这位身高6英尺9英寸的球员在场上犹如移动的明星。然而，交易中涉及到的次轮选秀权让我感到忧虑。”
尽管希姆斯在2021年联合训练营中展现出的垂直跳跃达到了44.5英寸，他的跳跃高度甚至可能超过东契奇在空接传球时的触及点，且他无疑是速度与身高兼备的大个子之一，他在多个方面与湖人队的需求相契合。然而，尽管他具备卓越的弹跳能力，他并非最佳的防守篮板球员。湖人队对于失误的容忍度较低，尤其是在大个子球员中，他失误的频率较高。因此，这成为了湖人队必须权衡的一个问题。
In the upcoming deal, the Lakers are poised to surrender their second-round draft pick. To streamline their roster to a maximum of 15 players, they might be compelled to part ways with either Jaden Hardin or Bronny, leading to the conversion of either Hardin's $6 million or Bronny's $2.5 million salary into non-guaranteed money. This scenario presents the Lakers with a multitude of considerations. Clearly, acquiring a highly athletic interior player could serve as the team's third big man. However, is Sims the long-term solution for the position? If Sims is indeed the answer, the Lakers should proceed with the trade. Otherwise, they may opt to hold off.
