After being cut loose by the Los Angeles Lakers, Jordan Goodwin was reportedly claimed on waivers by the Phoenix Suns.
Luka Doncic has had a busy summer. Along with having a decision to make on his contract extension with the LA Lakers on Aug. 2, the superstar has been involved in roster-building decisions.
Trey Jemison played 22 games with the Lakers last season. He's now an unrestricted free agent after the team waived him on Monday.
That means not only the additions of Smart and Ayton, but also, finally, getting healthy seasons from Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaxson Hayes, plus improvement from the likes of Bronny James and, of course, more familiarity with Luka Doncic.
According to insiders, there's chatter regarding LeBron’s desire to join a new team to pursue his goal of winning a fifth NBA title. Rumors suggest James is considering leaving the Lakers ahead of the 2024-25 season to reunite with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving in Dallas.
The New York Knicks are preparing for the upcoming NBA season and reportedly have their sights set on a player also being tracked by the Los Angeles Lakers.
