Redick’s Riddle: The Goodwin Dilemma…
Injuries have the Los Angeles Lakers spinning plates like circus performers, and Jordan Goodwin has been an unexpected hero. Originally signed on a two-way contract, he’s become the lifeline in JJ Redick’s coaching opus. With the hustle of an over-caffeinated squirrel carrying its prized acorn, Goodwin brings energy, defense, and a hunger for hoops that isn’t always reflected on the scoreboard.
However, this two-way tango won’t last forever. Goodwin is about to exhaust his remaining five games in the NBA spotlight unless the Lakers upgrade that two-way contract to a full-fledged one. But wait, there’s a snag—Redick calls this a “complicated” situation, akin to solving a Rubik’s Cube while blindfolded. With a team roster tighter than your jeans after Thanksgiving, someone may need to bite the dust if Goodwin’s going to secure his spot.
Who’s the unlucky duck? Likely candidates have begun circling, with Cam Reddish looking nervously over his shoulder. But, with Goodwin shooting nearly 45% from downtown and proving indispensable, the Lakers might just have to shuffle their deck sooner rather than later. Stay tuned, because this contract saga might just rival the greatest soap operas.
