Report: Seven Teams Asked the Nets About Dorian Finney-Smith Before the Trade Deadline

Two years ago, Luka Doncic deemed Dorian Finney-Smith as the player he wanted to play with for the rest of his NBA career when they were teammates on the Dallas Mavericks. In fact, at a postgame press conference before the Mavericks' playoff run to the Western Conference Finals that season, Doncic said, “I hope I play with him until the end of my career because he's an amazing player, but most importantly, he's a humble guy, (hard)-working guy, and a great person.” Finney-Smith and Doncic played four seasons together in Dallas. Now after a full season playing for the Brooklyn Nets following a trade there before the 2023 trade deadline, various teams, including contenders, have inquired about the Nets on the forward amidst a rebuilding crisis in Brooklyn.
