The Brooklyn Nets traded veteran wing Dorian Finney-Smith for a familiar face on Sunday.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Nets dealt Finney-Smith and Shake Milton to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for point guard D'Angelo Russell, 22-year-old forward Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks.

As Brooklyn continues to build towards the future, ESPN's Bobby Marks noted that the team now owns 15 first-round picks and 16 second-round selections over the next seven years.

After adding Russell's $18.7 million expiring contract and Lewis' $1.9 million salary for the 2024-25 season, the Nets are now $677,000 below the luxury tax and have $1.9 million in space to operate underneath the first apron (via Marks).

Here's what Brooklyn's depth chart looks like following Sunday's move:

Nets Depth Chart

PG: D'Angelo Russell, Ben Simmons, Reece Beekman

SG: Cam Thomas, Ziaire Williams, Keon Johnson

SF: Cameron Johnson, Jalen Wilson, Maxwell Lewis

PF: Noah Clowney, Trendon Watford, Cameron Johnson

C: Nic Claxton, Day'Ron Sharpe, Noah Clowney

Russell previously spent two years with the Nets, making the only All-Star appearance of his career in Brooklyn during the 2018-19 season.

In 29 appearances with the Lakers this year, he averaged 12.4 points and 4.7 assists per game on 41.5/33.3/84.9 shooting splits.

Russell will be 29 years old by the end of the regular season, meaning that he doesn't fit the timeline of a rebuilding Nets team and may depart in free agency. Charania noted on Sunday that Brooklyn will have over $60 million in cap space during the 2025 offseason and could target free-agents that fit around young players such as Cam Thomas and Noah Clowney.

Lewis was selected by the Lakers with a second-round pick in the 2023 NBA draft, playing sparingly throughout the first two seasons of his career. He's been on the court for just 29 total minutes across seven appearances during his 2024-25 campaign, scoring four points on 2-6 shooting.

Brooklyn has been focused on dealing veteran contributors for future draft capital amid a 12-19 start to the season.

The Nets traded point guard Dennis Schröder and a second-round pick to the Golden State Warriors in return for guard De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks on Dec. 14.

Brooklyn may not be done making moves, as NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on Wednesday that veteran sharpshooter Cam Johnson has drawn "considerable trade interest" from contending teams.

The Nets added to their draft capital while freeing up more future cap space on Sunday, and they could unload another veteran prior to the Feb. 6 deadline.
