The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed on a trade sending D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton, enhancing their wing depth and cap flexibility.
The Lakers now find themselves approximately $3.5 million below the second tax apron after acquiring Finney-Smith and Milton, which adds crucial cap flexibility.
Dorrian Finney-Smith, who is joining the Lakers, is seen as a crucial 3-and-D player with a career-high 44% shooting from the 3-point range.
D'Angelo Russell, who helped the Lakers in last year's playoff run, saw his role diminish this season, averaging 12.4 points while transitioning from starter to bench.
