L.A. Welcomes Playoff-Ready Goodwin…
In a plot twist as gripping as a Hollywood blockbuster, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to elevate Jordan Goodwin from a two-way Cinderella story to a full-fledged playoff prince. After Max Christie’s departure left a perimeter-sized hole in the defense, Goodwin swooped in like a defensive superhero, solidifying his spot faster than a Lakers fan in line for nachos. Averaging 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and perfectly timed steals, he’s been shooting 47% from the field and 41.3% from downtown. Those numbers got him the upgrade and now, Lakers fans can breathe easy as Goodwin is playoff-ready and raring to go!
With Chris Haynes breaking the news, the Lakers have waved goodbye to Cam Reddish, freeing up a roster spot for Goodwin and potentially his ever-growing fan club. They cleverly made sure to keep a team option on Goodwin’s contract for the future, laying groundwork for offseason gymnastics that even Simone Biles would applaud. Will Christian Koloko or Trey Jemison get a similar parchment upgrade? Stay tuned, folks!
Meanwhile, Austin Reaves gives a hearty high-five to Goodwin, celebrating his well-deserved contract upgrade and singing his praises louder than a karaoke fan with a love for power ballads. Reaves recalled telling Goodwin during an Indiana game performance, “Out of 30 teams, you’re not on a regular contract?!” Lakers fans and teammates alike agree, this unsung hero’s tune is one they can’t get out of their heads.
