Rumor: Andre Drummond could join Lakers if he gets Cavaliers buyout

[Kiddlovesnets]

Because they've been trying to trade him for a while and they can't get anyone for him. That's why this buyout of Drummond subject is discussed by sports media and on sports forums to begin with.

So why would he sign with the Lakers assuming he does get bought out? He can’t get the minutes, touches and even rebounds he needs in LA. If he actually prefers Lakers over other candidates, then a very good chance is that AD is done for the season so Drummond will get a much better role than in other teams, not sure if this is a good news for Lakers fans?

I don't know what his motives are.

But I do know that he would get plenty of minutes on the Lakers and definitely more touches than he would get next to Durant, Harden, Kyrie and now Griffin, where 80% of his field goal attempts would come from offensive rebounds.

Probably goes to Brooklyn or another east team.

Born in New York. Played high school and college in Connecticut. Spent like 8 years in Michigan and barely moved to go to Ohio(and Florida bubble). He has spent his entire life northeast so unless he wants a change of scenery, I'd guess he picks Nets. Or even Bucks. Milwaukee is same division as Detroit and Cleveland, the only division he has played in.

Of course he COULD join the Lakers, but have a think through your thick skull - why would he

It's not.

Drummond will go from 14 rpg to 6rpg playing in the bran system

He would still get a better role and more touches with Nets than with Lakers, Lebron doesnt work well with big men. Hes not gonna be happy averaging 13/5 next to Lebron and AD.

or maybe 5/5, Lebron steals rebounds from the big men so its not going to be anywhere close to 10.

[Kingwillball]

13-10 would be doable with AD and Lebron getting 8-9 and Lebron around 7-8.. a

Nah hes not getting 10 rpg next to Lebron alone, we all know what Lebron does to the big men stealing their rebounds. Now adding AD to the mix, hes gonna average 5rpg.
