Cam Reddish Rumors

Bobby Marks: Cam Reddish was on an expiring $2.4M contract. The Lakers are still well positioned below the 2nd apron to convert or sign another player(s) and remain under. They would need to create a roster spot.

Shams Charania: The Lakers are waiving Cam Reddish to create roster space for Goodwin, sources tell ESPN. Goodwin has grabbed at least one offensive rebound in 18 of his 19 games played, providing a spark for the Lakers off the bench.

Los Angeles Lakers fans received surprising news regarding Alex Len and Cam Reddish on Saturday morning. X account Legion Hoops shared an alleged report from Lakers insider Jovan Buha, which suggests the purple and gold were planning to cut Len, whom they signed after the trade deadline, and Reddish. Hours later, Buha cleared up the situation, stating that he never said such a thing about Len and Reddish.

The Spun

A player on a two-way contract is ineligible for the playoffs. L.A. has until April 13, the last day of the regular season, to convert Goodwin or Jemison's contract to a standard NBA deal to have them available for the postseason. But the Lakers already have all 15 roster spots filled, so it would involve waiving a player to make it happen. Cam Reddish would be an obvious choice after falling out of the rotation, even with Rui Hachimura sitting out weeks because of a knee injury. He was already traded to the Charlotte Hornets this season before the Mark Williams deal was rescinded.

Freeing up the other spot is trickier. L.A. signed 7-footer Alex Len to its final roster spot last month, and Len turned down interest from the Indiana Pacers to come, sources told ESPN. Thus far, he has been used sparingly by Redick, with the coach turning to Jemison in backup center minutes behind Jaxson Hayes during L.A.'s recent eight-game winning streak.

Dave McMenamin: JJ Redick says he will play every Laker in uniform tonight. Bronny James is back with the team after a G League stint and that also means Cam Reddish will be in line for minutes for the first time since late January.

Technically, the Los Angeles Lakers rescinded a deal for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams “due to failure to satisfy a condition of the trade” and determining he didn’t pass his physical. In his first game with the Hornets since the Lakers nixed the trade, however, Williams shared suspicions that the Lakers may have had remorse over dealing rookie guard Dalton Knecht, veteran forward Cam Reddish, a 2031 first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap. “I don’t know for them, if it was what they gave up or went into that reasoning. But I don’t think it was solely because of my physical,” Williams said following the Hornets’ 100-97 win over the Lakers on Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena. “I’ve been playing all year. And I think my minutes and production on the court speak for itself.”

Spurned by the Los Angeles Lakers due to a failed physical and returned to the Hornets following the agreed upon Feb. 6 deal for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish and draft pick compensation prior to the NBA trade deadline, Williams has been on quite the ride lately. And the emotional roller coaster was enough to leave him a tad queasy. “I mean, it’s crazy,” Williams said. “Your mind has to shift from you got traded, you’ve got to go to L.A. and then you’ve got to shift back from you’re not going to L.A. So, it’s definitely different. “It’s a lot on your mind and you’ve got to take what life gives and make the most of every opportunity you’ve got.”

Dave McMenamin: JJ Redick says Cam Reddish is still away from the Lakers, having become a father to a new baby girl.

The Lakers can still waive someone -- Wood or Reddish would be the top candidates, team sources said -- to create a roster vacancy to bring in another center. L.A. still has enough room under the second apron to sign a buyout player, someone making less than $12.8 million with his previous team, for the rest of the season. "We will find another center path," a team source said. "The path is always there. We just got to put in the work to find it."

ESPN

Dave McMenamin: The Lakers anticipate both Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish to report back to the team, now that the trade is rescinded. Reddish, it should be noted, missed time away from the Lakers leading up to the trade deadline because of personal reasons.
