Jabari Smith Jr. extends, Dorian Finney-Smith rumors swirl

from Rockets LaunchPod · host Ben DuBose

As free agency negotiations officially begin around the NBA, the Rockets are continuing a busy offseason. With Kevin Durant already in the fold, Houston has recently agreed to new contracts with Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet, and there are rumors that Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith could be an attainable target during the opening days of 2025 free agency.Sponsored by Karbach Brewing, Monday’s episode explores all the various implications. Discussion topics include include how Smith and VanVleet’s relatively inexpensive deals could the Rockets help fill out future rosters, as well as why Finney-Smith is a worthwhile target to potentially backfill the role of Dillon Brooks (traded to Phoenix in the Durant deal).Support our partners and sponsors!
