The Los Angeles Lakers weren't particularly happy when they lost Dorian Finney-Smith to the Houston Rockets over the summer. That's one of the reasons why it would be an exceedingly good idea for the Lakers to look at pursuing Dillon Brooks at the trade deadline and in doing so, getting the last laugh with Houston.
Not only would doing this eliminate one of LeBron James' biggest agitators and put him in the Purple and Gold, but it would give LA that three-and-D wing that can act as a point-of-attack defender that they've been looking for.
