Ex-Lakers Guards Walker, Goodwin Join EuroLeague, Suns After NBA Moves

The Los Angeles Lakers have made significant roster changes recently, including trading Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic and signing former Boston Celtics star Marcus Smart, resulting in the waiving of guard Jordan Goodwin. Goodwin, known for his defensive intensity and energy off the bench, was quickly claimed off waivers by the Phoenix Suns, a team in rebuilding mode looking to establish a defensive identity. Meanwhile, former Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV has signed with EuroLeague's Maccabi Tel Aviv, becoming one of the highest-paid players in Europe, although he retains an NBA buyout clause allowing a potential league return. On the broadcasting front, Brian Scalabrine, a former Celtics champion, has expanded his role by signing with NBC to announce games nationally, joining a star-studded NBA on NBC broadcast team that includes legends Michael Jordan and Derek Fisher. These developments highlight the Lakers' ongoing efforts to refine their roster while the NBA prepares for a new era of televised coverage with high-profile analyst additions across networks.
