The NBA transfer market continues to leave interesting embers.
If on Saturday he surprised
the impressive Nets
with the arrival as a free agent of veteran
LaMarcus Aldridge
- he got the Spurs' boyout - this Sunday the bomb has gone off in Los Angeles.
The Lakers will be reinforced with Andre Drummond.
The ineffable Drummond, 27,
one of the best rebounders of the last decade in the league
and sought after by several franchises, comes to the reinforcement of one of the main contenders.
He has not played since February 12, when he agreed with the Cavaliers to terminate his contract in search of a way out.
From 2012 to 2019 he played for the Pistons.
In almost 700 games in the NBA, he has averaged 13.8 rebounds - he led the NBA for four seasons in this section - and 14.6 points, he has been a two-time All Star and world champion with the United States at the World Cup in Spain.
However, in modern basketball Drummond was never considered an NBA megastar, given his inconsistency, his lack of leadership, his weak defense and his inability to shoot from the perimeter.
But the Lakers could use pearls as a
companion to LeBron James and Anthony Davis
in search of revalidating their ring.
This movement will fully affect the role of Marc Gasol.
Because the Angels' intentions are to give Drummond the position of five starter, displacing the Spanish.
As they have slipped, the Lakers
are not satisfied with the performance of Marc or with that of Montrezl Harrell
, another of the reinforcements of last summer.
The current champion is not going through his best moment.
He has fallen to fourth place in the West, affected by the injuries of Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
Marc himself returned just a few days ago, because after catching the coronavirus he was in the dry dock.
Gasol has already played 37 games with the Lakers, all as a starter, in which he has averaged 4.8 points and four rebounds, the lowest figures of his entire career.
