Jordan Goodwin Becomes a Laker Playoff Hero…
In a twist that could be straight out of a sports comedy, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to turn their weekly two-way contract holder, Jordan Goodwin, into their new playoff star. Imagine stepping in to handle the team’s missing defense only to be rewarded with a permanent place on the Hollywood squad! Not to mention, Goodwin’s been pulling off some impressive stats: 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and the ability to shoot three-pointers like they’re Lay’s chips — you really can’t just have one. Unfortunately for Cam Reddish, he’s the plot twist that didn’t quite make the cut.
Lakers’ insiders, and possibly a parrot who overheard Magic Johnson talking, leaked that Goodwin’s spot is solidified, with a team option for the 2025-26 season — probably at a price that won’t even buy you popcorn at Staples Center. But hey, being playoff eligible is the real Cinderella story here. Of course, this move likely means more popcorn munching and less playing time for Reddish.
Austin Reaves chimed in with praise and a fist bump for Goodwin, highlighting his well-deserved ascension. Reaves practically gave him a teammate’s Oscar, applauding his hustle from a two-way mystery player to a full-fledged Laker. Stay tuned to see if any other roster shakeups cause another episode of “Trading Players in Tinseltown”!
