JJ Redick may be digging through his old contacts list to help the Los Angeles Lakers improve. During a recent X broadcast, Lakers writer Anthony Irwin of ClutchPoints reported that the Lakers have expressed trade interest in forward Dorian Finney-Smith of the Brooklyn Nets.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick called out his team following the 127-102 loss against the Denver Nuggets for a lack of effort.

Redick did go on to make clear that he views the Denver performance as a blip on the radar. He argued that was an outlier performance, highlighting how the Lakers have been battle-tested this season and mostly prevailed, overcoming plenty of obstacles thus far.
