In the free market this summer, the Lakers management is expected to be very busy. In addition to the need to launch signings to make the lineup more balanced and reasonable, some players also face contract renewal issues, or may jump out of contracts. As time approaches, the Lakers have done their preliminary work and retained some players.

Judging from the current news, the Lakers are full of joy and worries. First of all, the basic salary engineer Jordan Goodwin has announced that he has officially stayed in the team. Of course, the Lakers have the final say. Jordan Goodwin has the team options. He just updated his dynamics of hard work earlier, and it was suspected that he had a wave of presence. The Lakers management quickly chose the execution option, allowing him to appear on the roster of the new season.

As a marginalist in the undraft, Jordan Goodwin is still qualified for his regular season performance. Especially after the Lakers sent off Max Christie, they needed a wing 3D player, and Jordan Goodwin played this role. And from the perspective of salary structure, Luca Doncic and LeBron James occupy a large amount of salary space for the Lakers. Austin Reeves is about to face renewal, and Gab Vincent and Hachimura's salary is not low. So Jordan Goodwin is a basic player after all. If there is no good choice, the Lakers will not be bad even if they keep him, they will not be bad at a roster.

However, the next two things, even if the bad news for the Lakers, it also means that in the free market, the management is likely to face some obstacles. First, the forward player Finney Smith, who has been robbed. Although Finney Smith is old and has a relatively single function, he is still a reliable 3D forward, especially in the current Lakers lineup, Finney Smith is not so easy to be replaced. But after jumping out of the contract, he was paid attention to by many teams. Perhaps Finney Smith himself did not expect this. If there is a team, the offer will be higher than that of the Lakers, and it will be reasonable for him to choose to leave at that time.

In the end, the Lakers pursued Andrew Wiggins and also encountered obstacles. The negotiations between the Lakers and the Heat seem to be in a stagnant state. Unless the Lakers increase their positions significantly, or the Heat choose to give in, it will be difficult to reach a consensus. Especially Andrew Wiggins is not short of next home. It is reported that the Bucks refuse to rebuild, especially "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo announced his stay in the team. The management will continue to strengthen the lineup around him. The Bucks also regard Andrew Wiggins as the main target of signing this summer.
