Why Dorian Finney-Smith makes more sense playing elsewhere than playing in Brooklyn

Three Nets veterans that didn’t exactly fit their rebuilding timeline drew varying degrees of interest at this season’s trade deadline.

Spencer Dinwiddie and Royce O’Neale were dealt away in February.

Dorian Finney-Smith could follow them out the door this offseason.

While Finney-Smith is a steady locker room presence and a solid defensive player, he’s also the oldest player on the roster at 31 and would be valuable to a contender. That makes him a luxury the retooling Nets might not be in a position to keep. For a team that went just 32-50, he’s an asset they can ill afford not to cash in on.
