EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After spending his first day with the franchise, newly acquired Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith pointed out that L.A.'s trade with the Brooklyn Nets didn't just bring him from the East Coast to the West Coast.
It brought him from near the bottom of the NBA standings to championship contention.
"It's fun, man," Finney-Smith said Monday. "Just the opportunity to play for a championship. Not even just playoffs. In Brooklyn, we were just fighting to get in the playoffs. Here, we're trying to win the championship.
