The Los Angeles Lakers won’t change their beginning lineup of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Max Christie following their acquisition of Dorian Finney-Smith.
“We’re in a great spot with our beginning group proper now,” Redick mentioned. “So, he’ll play and he’ll come off the bench, and like I’ve instructed you guys a number of occasions, I would like consistency with that group, however I am not going to be cussed and locked into one thing if it isn’t working. However it’s working proper now, and [Finney-Smith] is a man that may slot in very simply with any lineup and any form of roster.”
Finney-Smith makes $14.9 million this season and offers the Lakers a lift as a three-and-D wing.
“Dorian offers us one other defender and he is a man that has guarded a number of positions all through his profession,” Redick mentioned. “He is labored to grow to be an elite spot-up, catch-and-shoot 3-point shooter. So, simply excited to have him.”
