According to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, the Lakers have cut down guard Goodwin. The Lakers have previously cut Milton for the purpose of signing Smart for the biennium exception.

According to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, the Lakers have negotiated with multiple teams over the past 24 hours to try to free up some cap space without sacrificing important draft assets. Sources said there has been no substantial progress in the deal negotiations. Goodwin is a player the Lakers are optimistic about.

Goodwin became a key rotation player for the team's coach Redick at the end of last season. He played 29 games for the Lakers and participated in 4 playoffs.
