It's been revealed that the Lakers had offered Finney-Smith only a two-year deal before he signed with the Rockets.

The scrappy 3-and-D wing will bring back plenty of defensive intensity to the Rockets on the perimeter, after they dealt away Dillon Brooks in the Kevin Durant trade.

He averaged 8.7 points while shooting 41.4% from 3-point range last season with the Lakers.

Finney-Smith is one of two major additions to the Rockets, as they also re-signed Clint Capela in free agency. Capela had spent the first six years of his NBA career in Houston.
