In this summer's free market, the Lakers adhere to their usual style, can pick up bargains, and will never use draft picks to start the transaction. Not to mention, Pelinka has also caught two good fish.

After successfully recruiting Ayton, Pelinka took action again. He saw the opportunity of the Wizards buying out Smart and immediately handed the latter a two-year contract of $10.525 million, bringing the former best defensive player into his arms and helping Doncic and James compete for the championship.

In order to make room for signing, Pelinka made consecutive decisions for Milton and Goodwin, which aroused dissatisfaction among the US media. They felt sorry for the Lakers giving up Goodwin and threatened that Goodwin would kill all the teams in the next team, and the Lakers were not worth it!

Mickey Sam Quinn sighed: Goodwin is a high-quality asset of the Lakers and has room for growth. He is a very influential substitute and will be able to find a job immediately.

As of course Goodwin performed well at a certain point in the regular season, but his performance in the playoffs is hard to describe. He can't defend himself without attacking or defending. It's a good icing on the cake, but it's a luxury to help him in time.

League news, Pepsim Shams revealed that before the Lakers took out Smart, Pelinka was interested in Melton, but the opponent was determined to make a comeback, so Smart became an alternative.
