Report: Andre Drummond still leaning towards Lakers despite Celtics putting ‘full-court press’ on signing him

If I was a betting man I think he goes to LAL.

I do not really see why Boston would want him.  Someone would not get to play much between RW, TT and AD.

I think we are okay with RW starting and TT being the BU.

That is the way I feel. Talk about a chemistry problem???

The Lakers tried that with Marc Gasol.
That hasn’t worked as well as expected, but Gasol’s metrics have been better than most are aware of.
But, I’m very happy Gasol will now be sitting while Drummond will be starting.
Drummond will be extremely valuable to the Lakers.
I think he is the best rebounder in the league and is an offensive threat.
I expect he will be much more efficient since Drummond won’t be expected to be an offensive force with the Lakers.

It seems like Boston really wanted Drummond.
I’m not sure if that was for their own team or to keep him away from the Lakers.

The Lakers and Nets are doing everything they can to make sure they're the last two standing.

I'm not sure they can pay them all over a longer period, or will want to try, but they're giving the league a lesson on how to build for title contention on the fly.

If the various players added to each squad buy in as KG, Ray Allen and others did back in '07, those will be two dangerous teams. Even the few that are high-mileage vets appear to have a little left in the tank.
