Dorian Finney Smith, since leaving the Lakers to sign a 4 year/53 million contract with the Rockets, has been vital for the Lakers this series. He has stepped up in every game he played, putting up terrible shooting numbers to support the Lakers. Additionally, in the vital game 6, he put up an immaculate 0 points, 2 missed shots, 1 turnover, and 1 foul in 8 minutes (-13) to help the Lakers clinch the series. It’s incredible the value that he provides to his team, considering his contract.

He’s 33 and was injured

For an undrafted player he’s had a good career and made great money

Except he’s still owed 3yrs $39M with a player option in his age 35 season lol

Only two of those years are guaranteed thankfully. Practically the only silver lining from this disaster.

Ah yep good call, missed that on spotrac, sounds like it’ll just be a salary filler for a trade this offseason then

Incorrect. Because of his contract, he will be in the league for couple more years.

Side note: thunder will end up being involved that somehow lands them a draft pick.

I so wish Caruso was a double agent and not just an incredible two-way single agent that we let walk.

Didn’t he throw shade on the Lakers for letting him go after he won his second ring last year. He is gonna play even more hard against the Lakers lol

Rob Pelinka should’ve gotten more EOTY votes for letting him walk.

Conversely, Raf Stone should be tried at The Hague for what he built this past summer.
