Brooklyn Nets continue with their rebuilding process. After sending to Dennis Schroeder to the Golden State Warriors, the team Jordi Fernandez could get rid of one of the best shooters of the season, a player with 42% effectiveness from long distance. Plus, he could let another key player go.
¿Where will Dorian Finney-Smith play?
Dorian Finney-Smith He averages 11 points and is one of the most requested players in the NBA. Its very high effectiveness of 45% in triples and their solid defense are a great attraction for any team. With his departure, Jordi Fernández could be without one of the most lucrative role players in the league. His $15 million salary makes him a more than convincing bet.

The team most likely to acquire Finney-Smith is the Sacramento Kingsthe 12th-place team in the West, with a 13-13 record. They are the 10th worst team in triple-point effectiveness this season, in addition to being the eighth that converts the least, so an elite shooter like Finney-Smith could help them with this problem.
The journalist Evan Sidery believes that the Kings are the favorites to keep Dorian Finney-Smith, and that they have other players on their radar such as Cam Johnson y Kyle Kuzma. The former is also expected to leave Jordi Fernández’s team, as he is a great shooter and a solid defender. On the other hand, Kuzma’s incorporation will be more complicated due to his $23 million contract.
The Kings’ plan to add Finney-Smith
So far, the Sacramento Kings’ season has been disappointing. It was expected that the big three made up of De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis y DeMar DeRozan be a contending team. However, they showed great defensive shortcomings and limitations when it came to scoring. Although they have improved these weeks with three victories in a row, the California team wants to make moves.
The Kings’ improvement came with changes to the lineup. Mike Brown decided to include Malik Monk instead of Kevin Huerter, who would be the bargaining chip that the franchise would use to obtain a forward like Dorian Finney-Smith. The other player who could be part of the package is Trey Lyles.
