The Lakers have finally landed wing Dorian Finney-Smith, a “three-and-D” player the team has coveted for more than a season, by sending out D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers also acquired reserve guard Shake Milton in the deal, which helped them trim nearly $3 million in payroll and gives them flexibility under the second salary cap apron.
The trade, which happened Sunday morning and was confirmed by a person with knowledge of the deal, gives the Lakers a 6-foot-7 forward in Finney-Smith who is shooting 43.
