The Los Angeles Lakers made waves this week with a blockbuster trade, acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for D’Angelo Russell, rookie Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round draft picks. The deal, which bolsters the Lakers’ depth and defense, has drawn mixed reactions from fans, but LeBron James is all in on the move.
James highlighted the potential impact both players could have on the team. “They’ve played in big games and mastered their roles. I’m looking forward to them getting into our system and making an immediate impact whenever their numbers are called,”James added.
With the trade, the Lakers have signaled their intent to make a deeper playoff push. As James emphasized, “We’re here to win, and these guys help us do that.”
When asked for his thoughts on the trade, James expressed gratitude for the contributions of the departing players while welcoming the new additions. “First of all, big shout-out to D-Lo and Max-Lew,”James said, via The Athletic’s Jovan Buha. “They’re brothers of ours, and we hate to see anyone leave at any point of the season. But obviously, Finney-Smith and Milton bring experience, toughness, and a winning mentality.”
