The LA Lakers have completed a blockbuster trade to acquire Dorian Finney-Smith from the Brooklyn Nets. LA has sent D'Angelo Russell to the Nets, reuniting the two parties five years since Brooklyn traded the point guard to the Golden State Warriors for Kevin Durant.

Finney-Smith's $14,924,167 contract will be accompanied by Shake Milton's $2,875,000 deal in the trade. Shams Charania, who first broke the report, mentioned that the Lakers parted ways with three second-round picks, preserving their two tradeable firsts for future moves.

The Lakers also moved on from 2023 second-round pick Maxwell Lewis in this deal.
