Height 1.91 meters! He scored 23 points and 17 rebounds! Leave the Lakers and join the Suns

On July 24, the Phoenix Suns officially announced that they had officially signed Jordan Goodwin and Jared Butler. The Suns signed two defenders in a row with two basic salary contracts! In order to make room to sign Smart, the Lakers cut Goodwin and Milton at the same time two days ago, and the Suns claimed Goodwin from the free market.

This is Goodwin's second time joining the Suns. In the summer of 2023, in Bill's trade, Goodwin was sent to the Suns by the Wizards. Let’s review the Suns’ big deal of 12 to 3: The Suns gave Paul, Shamet, 4 first round swaps, 6 second round picks and some cash, and obtained Bill, Goodwin and Isaiah Todd from the Wizards’ trade.

Goodwin was born on October 23, 1998. He is 1.91 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.08. In the 2023-24 season, Goodwin played 40 games with the Suns, averaging 14 minutes per game, scoring 5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 28.8%. In February 2024, the Suns sent Goodwin to the Nets, and he was cut and joined the Grizzlies.

At first, the Grizzlies only gave Goodwin a 10-day contract and signed a two-way contract after it expired. On April 13, 2024, the Grizzlies played against the Lakers at home. Goodwin made 7 of 23 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 23 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. He played 17 games with the Grizzlies, averaging 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. In the summer of 2024, the Grizzlies did not renew their contract with Goodwin. In September 2024, the Lakers gave Goodwin a training camp contract, and in October 2024, the Lakers cut it. On February 8, 2025, the Lakers signed Goodwin with a two-way contract. Before becoming a regular player, he averaged 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game in the Lakers, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.3%!

On March 28, 2025, the Lakers converted Goodwin's two-way contract into a formal contract. Since the Lakers had full quota at that time, in order to become a good man, the Lakers cut off Redish. Unexpectedly, after Goodwin's regular season, his data declined significantly. He played in 9 regular season games, with a total of 5 of 19 three-pointers and a three-point shooting percentage of only 26.3%.

This year's playoffs, Goodwin fell out of the rotation. He averaged 7.8 minutes per game, scored only 0.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.3 steals, with a shooting percentage of 20% and a three-point shooting percentage of 0%. Some fans hope that the Lakers will re-sign Goodwin with a two-way contract, but Goodwin has played in the NBA for 4 years and has lost the qualification to sign a two-way contract.

Finally, let's talk about the Suns' operations this year's offseason: 1. Send Durant to the Rockets, get Jaylen Green, Dillon, the 10th pick in the first round of 2025, and 5 second round picks; 2. Buy out Bills and pay him $97 million in five years; 3. Give Misic, the 29th pick this year and the 2029 first round pick, and get 3 for 1.

4. The basic salary renewal of Gillespie, averaging 5.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in the Suns last season; 5. The basic salary signed Nigel Hayes Davis, the double MVP of Turkey and the European League last season; the No. 6 and 10 picks away big center Karu Maruac; the No. 7 and 31 picks away power forward Rashiel Fleming; the No. 8 and 2 years renewal of Booker in advance.

Plus Jordan Goodwin and Jared Butler who signed today, do you think the Suns can make the playoffs next season?
