Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

The Houston Rockets have emerged as a viable free agent landing spot for Dorian Finney-Smith, league sources tell @TheSteinLine and me, after the veteran declined his $15.4 million player option for 2025-26 with the Lakers today.

I didn’t have that on my bingo card.  DFS is still a good role player but I thought Houston already had too many bodies.  They have been making good moves consistently thought.  Need to move Whitmore if true.  He already is not happy with his minutes.
