Summary
The Lakers announced they have waived Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin, facilitating the salary savings they will need to sign Marcus Smart. With the Milton waiving a formality, Pete and Darius discuss the decision to also waive Goodwin and why they'll miss him. And then later, the guys dive into the team's depth at the point of attack defensive role now that Goodwin is gone, how Jarred Vanderbilt fits into the puzzle as a key player to fill this need, why the defensive coverages the team plays are such a big part of this discussion, and much more.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.0 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.0 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.0 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:10.0 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.0 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.0 | I don't think you have to do things for money |
| 0:22.4 | anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, joined by Darius. |
| 0:27.8 | And this weekend, we got the news that both Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin were waived as a result of |
| 0:35.0 | the Marcus Smart signing. That's impending. Smart still has to clear waivers, |
| 0:39.1 | but that is all lined up to go. And both Goodwin and Milton get let go. We knew Milton was |

| 0:59.5 | but that's certainly not what ended up happening. And so Goodwin's on waivers. We'll see if the |
| 1:05.0 | Lakers are able to pick him back up. But as of now, he's off the TM. reaction to the news of Jordan Goodwin getting waived. |
| 1:12.6 | We were, I think, wishcasting and trying to find ways for Goodwin to stay on the team because I think we're both fond of Jordan Goodwin. |
| 1:22.2 | And he's an NBA player and he deserves to be on a roster. And if it's not on the Lakers roster, I wish him |
| 1:29.4 | all the best to find a new home and to play well. I'd love for him to find his way back to |
| 1:35.5 | the Lakers roster, but right now they would need to make moves to do it. We were chatting some |
| 1:40.6 | before the pod and even offline since we had our last discussion for the pod. |
