The LA Lakers parted ways with Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin on Sunday to make room for the arrival of Marcus Smart. Milton’s $3 million contract for the upcoming season was set to become fully guaranteed that day, prompting the team to act just in time.
Senior NBA insider Shams Charania also reported that the Lakers had waived Goodwin, who provided valuable minutes off the bench last season. The moves were necessary for the Lakers to utilize their $5.1 million bi-annual exception to acquire Smart.

However, the decision didn’t sit well with many Lakers fans, particularly the release of Goodwin, who appeared in 29 games last season. Social media quickly lit up with strong reactions as fans voiced their frustration over the franchise's decision to let go of both guards.

Now they can always resign him and they might. But they also could have made a trade to free up space to keep him and they did not. So things are going to get interesting in the coming days and seeing what may or may not happen next
A fan commented:
Well damn, that consolidation trade must not have come to fruition just yet. Goodwin was someone I was hoping to keep on this roster…
Another commented:
They aren’t title contenders still
