The Phoenix Suns have reclaimed guard Jordan Goodwin off waivers, adding defensive depth and familiarity to their backcourt. Goodwin, previously with the team in 2023, was waived by the Lakers due to cap constraints despite solid performance.

LeBron James said he thinks the NBA should award an OPOY, similar to the NFL: “You give an MVP and an OPOY… and it changes. It’s like ‘OK, so is it the best player? Is it the player that had the best season with their team? Maybe that’s OPOY.” pic.twitter.com/zJbQun22St

The NBA's summer leagues have quickly come and gone, and if there has ever been a truism about the showcase for rookies and other league longshots, it is this:

Rising to third all-time on the scoring list, Kobe Bryant was drafted by the Lakers out of Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania in 1997. He quickly became a star, dueling with Michael Jordan in his first All-Star Game in 1998 and teaming with Shaquille O’Neal to bring Los Angeles a three-peat (2000, 2001, 2002).

Unsurprisingly, Goodwin found a new NBA home less than a week after parting ways with the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have made recent moves to acquire Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart after they agreed to buyouts with their former teams.

An NBA analyst has shared his perspective on the future of an LA Lakers star who might be on the move this offseason. Following their first-round exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, it was clear that the LA Lakers were in for a busy summer.

Marcus Smart revealed to Los Angeles Lakers reporters on Tuesday that he hasn’t heard from NBA legend LeBron James. Why? Because LeBron is on vacation with his wife, Savannah James.
