Andre Drummond signs with the Los Angeles Lakers
NBA
It’s official! 2X All-Star Center Andre Drummond is headed to La La Land. On Sunday, the former Cleveland Cavalier officially signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, after clearing waivers at 5 PM EST.
Last Friday, the 6’10, 280-pound big-man agreed to a contract buyout with the Cavaliers, who were unable to secure a trade partner that would agree to a deal for him. Drummond, 27, was averaging 17.5 PPG and 13.5 RPG for the Cavaliers this season and was owed $28.75 million prior to the buyout.
The Cavaliers recently acquired the 22-year-old rising center, Jarrett Allen, calling him “the franchise’s long-term starting center,” essentially guaranteeing Drummond’s departure.
For the Lakers, this is a major move to bolster their roster immediately. Due to the current absences of Lebron James and Anthony Davis due to their injuries.
Organizations such as the Brooklyn Nets and the Denver Nuggets are stockpiling star-level talent for the playoffs, Drummond’s acquisition will be key to helping Los Angeles repeat as champions. In a statement released by the team, Rob Pelinka, Lakers General Manager, commented:
“Andre Drummond gives us powerful, anchor-point skills on both ends of the court. We feel extremely fortunate to add a player of his caliber and magnitude to our core group at this stage of our journey to defend the NBA title.”
In this tweeted video from the Lakers, Drummond stated he was “excited” to be a part of the team and looked forward to competing for a championship.

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting
off-topic but I had to ask!

First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Many thanks!
