Drummond’s stay in Cleveland was brief. He was traded there from Detroit a little over a year ago and then reached a buyout with the team this season.
Now that he is a free agent, Drummond can choose to sign with any team. The Lakers have been recruiting Drummond “hard” according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Drummond is close to making a decision on his future.

Drummond has been linked to the Lakers for a month. The Celtics are considered to be another contender for him. But with Anthony Davis out, the Lakers have a big need in the middle for someone like Drummond. The 27-year-old is averaging 17.5 points and 13.5 rebounds per game this season.
