The Lakers made a smart trade, acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith, a known sharpshooter and solid defender, from the Nets.
Giving up D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and draft picks, the Lakers aimed to bolster their playoff chances.
Finney-Smith's consistent three-point shooting and versatile defense address a key weakness for the team.
This move, along with the addition of Shake Milton, significantly enhances the Lakers’ frontcourt and overall depth.
