Nets, Cavs discussed Dorian Finney-Smith for Issac Okoro sign-and-trade

Finney-Smith will make $14.9 million next season and has a $15.4 million player option for 2025-26. The 31-year-old seems likely to opt out next summer aiming for one last payday. That means Nets general manager Sean Marks is all the more incentivized to deal him either now or at the trade deadline. Does Finney-Smith hear all the noise? Of course. “I mean, I’m human,” Finney-Smith said. “I’m human. So of course. I’ve got family and stuff always asking me what’s going on and s–t like that. But you know, I’m just honest. So, I’m human, so I’m going to pay attention a little bit. But I can say I’m wherever my feet are at. “I still get to do what I love. I could be in a tougher situation where I’m looking for a job. I know I’m gonna be good regardless. If I’m here, I’m here. If I’m not, I’m not. So I just try to be wherever my feet are at. So I’m a Brooklyn Net right now, and I’m looking forward to competing.” -via New York Post / July 15, 2024
