The Los Angeles Lakers waived guard Jordan Goodwin shortly after releasing Shake Milton to clear space for the arrival of Marcus Smart, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Lakers have reportedly waived guards Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin in order to be able to sign Marcus Smart once Smart clears waivers.

The Lakers' roster construction effort has seen the team acquire Marcus Smart out of free agency. As positive as this would be for the team, the process of completing this move would require the Purple and Gold to take some additional steps.
