The Lakers made a series of mid-season trades, but very few could actually make a difference, with only three players technically available at the moment: Finney Smith, Doncic and Goodwin. Other players have not been reused by Redick after joining the Lakers, and some players have even been completely abandoned by Redick after only playing two games.

For example, Ryan is one such player, he only played two games before being dropped by Redick, and in recent games, even Redick used Jamieson instead of Ryan, which shows that the deal was a very unsuccessful one. Of course, the Lakers didn't pay much leverage to get Ryan, and if he left, it wouldn't cause much damage to the Lakers.

It is reported that the Lakers will transfer Goodwin's contract next, and according to the front reporter, two people may be the target of cuts, they are Reddish and Ryan. As it stands, Ryan is the most likely to be cut of the two players, as Reddish has a chance to make the rotation in the future.

Because when some strikers such as Hachimura are injured, Reddish can provide good defense on the court, which is something that Ryan does not have. According to Redick's current way of employing people, he is very obsessed with small lineups, so Ryan, an interior player with no defense and weak offense, will not play a very good role on the court, so it is useless to stay in the lineup, so he should be cut by the Lakers in the future, and the Lakers will transfer Goodwin's contract. It's definitely a very bleak trip for Ryan, and the Lakers are bound to be a sad place for him.
