Having acquired a starting center in Deandre Ayton and a long-range shooting threat in Jake LaRavia, the team has been looking to beef up on defense. And it seems they'll be landing a DPOY for that role. Shams Charania announced that he'll sign for the Lakers following his contract buyout.

Over the offseason, Goodwin signed a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers before being waived prior to the start of the regular season and signing with the South Bay Lakers. He spent ample time there before ultimately signing another two-way contract with Los Angeles a year after doing so in Memphis.
