Today, Lakers TA reporter Dan Woike reported that the team source revealed that the Lakers will be ready to face the situation where Dorian Finney Smith joins the Rockets in the free market.
"Losing a valuable wing player like Finney Smith - also a teammate whom Doncic loves, his departure will leave a vacant outside. But it also provides opportunities for the Lakers to actively pursue top centers in the free market," Woike wrote.
