According to Jake L Fischer and Marc Stein, the Houston Rockets are a potential landing spot for the LA Lakers' wing Dorian Finney-Smith after he rejected his $15.4 million player option to become an unrestricted free agent.

After 22 seasons, LeBron James can finally check off a new first — opting into the final year of his contract.

James, the league’s all-time leading scorer who turns 41 in December and will enter an unprecedented 23rd NBA season – breaking a tie with Vince Carter for most NBA seasons played – had until 2 p.m. on Sunday to decide on the option in his contract as part of the two-year, $101.4 million contract he signed with the Lakers last summer.
