Today, the Lakers officially announced,Dorian Finney-Smith and Sheikh Milton joined the team, with Finney Smith wearing the number 17 and Milton wearing the number 20.The Lakers didn't even give up a first-round pick to get Finney-Smith and Milton. The Nets got Russell, two-way player Lewis, and the Lakers second-round picks in 2027, 2030 and 2031.

Isn't this equivalent to the Lakers picking up a treasure? The Lakers' main purpose in making this trade is to complement the size, defense and projection of the forward line, while also optimizing salary space. Smith, 31 years old, 2.03 meters tall, is a high-quality 3-and-D wing who has been quite eye-catching in his projection this season and as tough as ever on the defensive end.

This guy is averaging 10.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game with the Nets this season, shooting a career-high 44% from three-point range, and is known as a senior fullback. He is also the only player in the NBA this season to defend guards, forwards and centers at least 15 times per game in the half.

After this deal, the distance between the Lakers' total salary and the second local tyrant line has expanded from the original $30,000 to the current $3.5 million. The luxury tax bill was also reduced to $42 million from $53.2 million before the deal.

The Lakers got a satisfactory reinforcement and saved a lot of money, Pelinka's operation, owner Jeanie Buss can't laugh?

One sweet annoyance is, will the Lakers start Finney-Smith or continue to start Hachimura?

Lakers reporter Dan Woike said: "This deal cements Reaves' position as the Lakers' primary ball-handling guard. Finney-Smith has been a full-time starter since the 2019-20 season, and if the Lakers continue to start Christie and Reaves in the backcourt, the Lakers will have to decide whether to let Finney-Smith or Hachimura play off the bench, and while Hachimura has shown improvement on the defensive end, Smith is still considered a stronger player on the defensive end. ”

Finney-Smith has spent 27.2 percent of his time defending centers so far this season, and has shot 66.7 percent from the field. Defensive forwards spend 39.3 percent of their time and defensive forwards shoot 41.9 percent from the field. Defensive guards spend 33.5 percent of their time and defenders who are defended shoot 35.7 percent from the field.

While Milton was seen as an addition to the deal, his role should not be overlooked. He is a second-round pick, has good offensive ability, is a master of random battles, is 1.96 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.15 meters, and he is a good hand at playing guards who are shorter than himself. Breakouts, throws, three-pointers are not bad, and occasionally pass a few balls, can play the role of a microwave oven in the rotation stage, and has a certain scoring ability. You can see him as a low-profile version of Lonnie Walker.

Shams also revealed on the show yesterday that the Lakers will continue to trade, they have not stopped moving, and they are willing to continue to bring in reinforcements and play for Redick for the next five years.

Of course, the Lakers can be patient and use their first-round picks closer to the trade deadline, as they will be in a better position to assess the roster.

The Lakers will continue to look for potential roster upgrades before the Feb. 6 trade deadline. For now, though, the plan is to see how Finney-Smith fits in, wait until the injured frontcourt players (Hayes, Vanderbilt and Wood) return, and continue to evaluate the lineup.

At present, the Lakers can trade 2029 and 2031 first-round picks.There are also three draft pick swaps (2026, 2028, and 2030) and two second-round picks that can be used for trade.

The Lakers held a practice session today, with Vanderbilt doing some non-contact work, and he and Wood are expected to return in a few weeks. Hayes will be back tomorrow. Bronny and other rookies sang Happy Birthday to James before training began.
