Lakers Convert Jordan Goodwin To Standard NBA Contract; Waive Cam Reddish
Lakers Convert Jordan Goodwin To Standard NBA Contract & Waive Cam Reddish
The #Lakers are converting two-way guard #JordanGoodwin to a standard #NBA contract, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
After trading Max Christie, the Lakers lacked defense on the perimeter and Goodwin quickly came in and filled that void for JJ Redick’s rotation.
Goodwin has averaged 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 19 games for the Lakers this season. The move will make him eligible to play in the playoffs, as Goodwin used his final two-way day in Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers.
The 26-year-old will sign a two-year deal with a team option for the 2025-26 campaign, sources told NBA insider Chris Haynes.
An important detail here is that Goodwin has a team option for the 2025-26 season likely at the league minimum, so the Lakers can keep him for another season if they want. That gives them some flexibility going into the offseason.
Obviously though the most crucial part of this is that Goodwin will now be available for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs for the Lakers. It will be interesting to see if the team does the same with either of their other two-way players Christian Koloko and Trey Jemison, although that would require them waiving another player on the roster.
The Lakers are waiving wing Cam Reddish to make roster space for Goodwin. Reddish averaged 3.2 points and two rebounds in 33 contests this season.
Los Angeles ranks fourth in the Western Conference with a 44-28 record.
So Z Nation, what do you think about the Lakers signing Jordan Goodwin???
