Quote:
There is optimism within the Lakers that they will get strong consideration from Andre Drummond if Drummond ultimately leaves the Cavaliers via buyout, league sources say.
Cleveland’s preference, of course, remains trading Drummond elsewhere before the March 25 trade deadline.
I'm still shocked Blake gave up 13m+ and took the prorated minimum. That was not expected.
Drummond will have to give up money too so I gather he would want to recoup some with the 5.9m the Nets can offer. Sheesh. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Stein has gotten really pathetic. "If" the Cavs buy out Drummond (which probably won't happen) there is "optimism" (based on what?) that Drummond will give "strong consideration" (whatever that means) to the Lakers. So basically, Stein is reporting nothing.
P.S. This really belongs in the General Free Agency/Trade thread. If someone starts a thread over every clickbait rumor that comes along in the next couple weeks, this Forum is going to be unreadable. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved

Agree. Writers, gossip columnist have historically used lakers name to get clicks without any substance.
I'd rather he not be available than available, which means he will likely be a Net.
Isn't the MLE deal also pro-rated, meaning it would be closer to $3 million.
Maybe. But they also have the Dinwiddie injury exception of 5.9m. Regardless, more than what the Lakers could offer. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Sounds like the everyday reporting we have nowadays no matter the subject...
If Drummond came to the Lakers, he'd have a guaranteed starting role. That wouldn't be an issue.
But in terms of the teams that can sign him, the Clippers cannot, apparently.
So it's between the Nets, the Celtics, the Lakers and the Heat. Maybe Milwaukee too. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

If the Nets get Drummond, that's a near guarantee for them to win the championship.
If *we* get Drummond, this will be the strongest Lakers team since the threepeat years. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
If the Lakers get Drummond, it's a wrap.
If the Nets get Drummond, it's a wrap.
If the Celtics get Drummond, it's a challenge,
If the Bucks get Drummond, it's very interesting.
If the Heat gets Drummond, it's interesting.
If the Clippers get Drummond, it's a fantasy because they can't. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

It's Detroit leaking news and using Lakers as leverage so that a team will trade with them instead of letting Drummer boy walk to LA. _________________
