Letting Dorian Finney-Smith walk seemed wild after the Lakers gave up so much to get him, but Rob Pelinka’s gamble is looking smarter every day. While Finney-Smith is sidelined with ankle surgery, the Lakers’ new faces—Deandre Ayton, Marcus Smart, and Jake LaRavia—are already making a difference, helping the team win 16 of their first 22 games. If Finney-Smith had stayed, the Lakers probably couldn’t have signed all three. Sometimes, taking the heat for an unpopular decision is exactly what it takes to keep a team in the hunt. What do you think—was this the right call for LA? #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
