Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com podcast. We've got a lot to get into on

today's show revolving around the Marcus smart situation. The Lakers making a couple of moves

waving Shake Milton as well as Jordan Goodwin. And that one certainly stung. We'll talk a little

bit about why they did things the way they did and then what it's going to mean for this roster

moving forward.

Plus, Luke Dodgich, his role as a recruiter and why he was pivotal in landing in Marcus Smart.

All that and a lot more on today's show.

All right, let's get into it. Soordan goodwin waved by the los angeles lakers and now marcus smart on the way officially announced

yesterday by the wizards marcus smart bought out he will now clear waivers it'll a few days, but he'll clear waivers and then will officially sign with

your Los Angeles Lakers.

Meanwhile, the Lakers had to wave Jordan Goodwin.

Now, we knew Shake Milton that move was coming, that they were going to wave

shake Milton in order to open up a roster spot.

And that roster spot ultimately will be

used on Marcus Smart. But Jordan Goodwin, this was the move that the Lakers were really hoping

to not have to make. They wanted to keep Jordan Goodwin if they could. But unfortunately,

that opportunity was just simply not there for them. Now, because they waived Jordan Goodwin,

there is actually a little bit of a domino effect

here on the Lakers roster in terms of what they can do moving forward and all of that.

But just know, they didn't want to move Jordan Goodwin.
