Who fits better on the Lakers team? Any chance any of them get bought out?

From what I am seeing right now. Drummond isn't the best fit for the lakers, as they have marc gasol AD and montrezl Harrell. That's the same as Lanarcus Aldridge. That's the reason way I am picking PJ TUCKER. He could bring defence as he can guard all 5 positions. I can see him being a reliable 3 and D player who has playoff experience.

Tucker is probably the best fit as far as personality, tenacity and need.

For bigs, the Lakers are looking for a lob threat.

The guy who is not a 36 year-old averaging 4.4 points on .366 shooting along with 4.6 rebounds in 30 minutes.

I have always had the feeling that Boogie would return

Tucker. He's the best defender out of them and yeah his shots been off this year but that's because he has no motivation. He's a winning type player, just hope he doesn't go to a stacked team. Maybe a team like the Blazers or Mavs or some other 2nd tier team.

My preference is shifting toward Tucker. Definitely fits the teams culture. But for some reason LA becomes a black hole for 3 point shooters. Green, Bradley, kcp, matthews, even going back to Jason kapono, seems dudes lose their shooting touch when they don the purple and gold. Could see that happening to tucker.

F*ck Lakers. Sixers need to add PJ via buyout or a 2nd rd pick. A winning situation would do him wonders and with Ben passing him the ball like Harden did. He could get back to the 3pt shooter he was.

Could he be washed? Maybe. But I’m willing to find out.

Aldridge is not being traded to Lakers - Pop doesn't trade with Lakers. He is not an option.

Between Tucker/Drummond, I would say you have to go with youth. Yes, Tucker would be best fit - he can defend anyone & his corner 3 is automatic (bigger stronger Bruce Bowen imo). But he is old and on the verge of breaking apart. You have to go Drummond. Drummond is great complement for AD. Gasol is also good complement backing up Drummond with similar skillset + added bonus of 3pt shot. Harrell would be in trouble though because he can't play alongside Drummond and lacks size & range. That makes it tough, especially to make the minutes work. Harrell could be the odd man out, which I don't want to see.

It's a tough call. If you add Tucker then it's a seamless fit. No odd man out or issues with chemistry/fitting him in. But he is getting old and breaking down. I think we have enough old guys and potentially injury-prone players to deal with. Maybe just add both Tucker & Drummond (after cutting Damian Jones) if possible then figure it out.
