The Lakers have successfully converted Jordan Goodwin from a two-way deal to a standard contract, making him eligible for the playoffs and providing financial maneuverability under the second apron. The move was meticulously timed to allow for further roster adjustments without exceeding salary cap regulations. Goodwin's contract features a minimal cap hit this season and includes a team option for 2025-26, which could lead to longer-term rights for the Lakers based on his performance and contract conditions.
Jordan Goodwin's conversion from a two-way deal to a standard contract makes him playoff eligible and allows the Lakers financial flexibility under the second apron.
With Goodwin's minimum cap hit this season, the Lakers are now around $670,000 under the second apron, which preserves their ability to make further moves.
Goodwin's new contract features a $2.35 million team option, providing the Lakers with an opportunity to assess his performance through the 2025-26 season.
If the Lakers maintain Goodwin through the full 2025-26 season, they'll gain Early Bird rights on him as he approaches unrestricted free agency.
