Lakers’ Hidden Gem Ready for a Contract Glow-Up!…
The Los Angeles Lakers may have struck gold with their not-so-secret weapon, Jordan Goodwin! This guard, initially signed on a two-way contract, is now an integral part of their squad. Goodwin dazzled in the Sunday showdown against the Phoenix Suns, proving himself a key player in securing the win. But here’s the kicker: as a two-way player, he’s a postseason no-show unless the Lakers upgrade his contract. They could keep playing the dating game until the last day of the regular season, but for playoff action, Goodwin needs a standard deal!
Austin Reaves, Goodwin’s unofficial hype man, didn’t hold back after Sunday’s game. Flashing back to Goodwin’s epic performance against Indiana, Reaves gushed, “Seriously, dude, how are you not on a regular contract with at least one of the 30 teams?!” He continued, “With or without the ball, this guy affects the game like a pro. Everyone loves playing with him because he does things right. Seriously, big ups to him – he’s a game-changer!”
Coach JJ Redick is also singing Goodwin’s praises. Snubbing typical box score analysis, Redick highlighted Goodwin’s substantial impact, despite modest points and a fouling frenzy. His grit against the Suns’ star duo – Booker and Durant – showcased his defensive magic. Who knew a two-point, four-foul stat line could be this compelling? The people have spoken. Laker fans everywhere, prepare for the contract upgrade countdown!
