The Los Angeles Lakers' fanbase understood the move, in concept. On Sunday night, the Lakers waived guard Jordan Goodwin, who had been a fan favorite. The decision had to be made to clear salary space for Marcus Smart, who is expected to be signed once he clears waivers following his buyout from the Wizards.

The New York Knicks still have a roster spot to fill as the offseason continues. The options on the market have dwindled in recent days, but a new and realistic target may have just emerged for them.

"The Lakers have a couple of paths they can head down. One, the Lakers would prefer to complete some type of a consolidation trade, where they send out an expiring contract and Dalton Knecht, and they bring in a player that they are more confident will help them this year and continue on without having to waive Jordan Goodwin,” he said.
