Free agent forward Dorian Finney-Smith has agreed to a four-year, $53 million deal with the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN. Finney-Smith's agent, Michael Tellem of Excel Sports, negotiated terms of the deal tonight with Rockets executives for the 3-and-D wing.

Happy for DFS. Houston will be a good team this season, for sure.
Still young, still athletic, but adding some winning experience to the mix.

Its a great deal for DFS. Deserved to finally cash in. Great signing for Houston as well. They are going to be very spooky next season if all things stay on course.
FVV
DFS
KD
Jabari
Sengun
Big versatile lineup.

They paid 3 2nd round picks and DLo for him 3 months ago. Lost him for nothing. Lakers were already strapped for assets as is. This is a pretty big blow for them.

Amen Thompson is definitely starting somewhere.

Lakers rumors are they don't want to add any long term money. They can have a lot of cap space in two summers when Jokic might be a free agent. Even if he isn't, they want to maintain future financial flexibility. That's why Lebron is mad and had Rich Paul release that statement.

DFS or Smith is coming off the bench probably. Thompson has to start at the 2 or 3. But we'll see.

I hate Finney Smith on the Rockets. That Houston team will be tough. Really deep. Although, like a few other teams they may have too many guys who can play.

Don't forget well coached. If they can keep Durant upright and healthy, they are a threat in the West.

Apparently Rob was going around to other teams talking about how DFS’ knee is cooked to tank his value and it got back to him lol
HORRIBLE look considering he’s besties with Luka

Not sure how trustworthy that is. Came from here which doesn't seem trustworthy either.

DFS is almost done, he is no more the Mavs version of him.
Anyway KD always wanted him so i'm no surprised of this sign. He can help.

Anthony Irwin is a pretty plugged in Lakers reporter. I trust it when he says that.

How's he almost done, if he can help? DFS was a great signing for perimeter depth and can hit the 3 if nothing else.

10/15 minutes from the bench in a contender team, no more. Done as a starter. Lakers let him go.
Without Luka he is too limited in this basketball era.
