The Los Angeles Lakers finally swung a trade, bringing in Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton and sending out D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second round picks to the Brooklyn Nets.
Several teams were interested in Finney-Smith, particularly the Memphis Grizzlies who were reportedly close on a deal before Los Angeles topped their offer. The Lakers had been linked to the wing previously, and the team did well to get him at the price they did.
Finney-Smith will slot right into head coach JJ Redick’s rotation as a true 3-and-D wing player who can guard multiple positions and space the floor.
