Andre Drummond was a highly-touted midseason addition on the Los Angeles Lakers roster. The 2-time All-Star was expected to bring even more high-level talent on a roster already featuring LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

When the Los Angeles Lakers signed Andre Drummond in March, I wondered if he would be the best buyout signing ever. NBA executives whined about the pull of big-market franchises. Welp. Despite the awkward fit and the limited production, Drummond — much to the chagrin of Lakers Twitter, Marc Gasol, and Montrezl Harrell — was […]

The midseason addition of Andre Drummond to the Los Angeles Lakers was interesting, to say the least. To be more succinct about it, it can be summarized using a single definitive word: Meh. Drummond suited up a total of 26 games, including the NBA Playoffs, in his first stint with the Lakers. In the regular […]

As great as Chris Paul is at the game of basketball, he isn’t exactly the friendliest guy on the court. He showed exactly that throughout the first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers signed veteran center Andre Drummond after he was bought out from the Cleveland Cavaliers midseason. At the time, the acquisition seemed extremely confusing. After all, the Lakers have Marc Gasol, Montrezl Harrell, and Anthony Davis, so the addition of Drummond was a head-scratcher. While it was essentially pegged as a one-year […]

Dennis Schroder and Andre Drummond have the same two items on their agenda: help the Los Angeles Lakers win the 2020-21 NBA championship, then get paid in free agency.

The Los Angeles Lakers had a number of issues in their Game 1 loss against the Phoenix Suns, and a recurring complaint has been Frank Vogel’s decision to start Andre Drummond alongside Anthony Davis.

The Los Angeles Lakers had far from their best stuff against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1. L.A. couldn’t hit a shot nor match the energy of their opponent, while LeBron James and Anthony Davis were outclassed by Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Despite Chris Paul’s injury and dangerous actions (everyone should be ready for […]

Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns tip off one of the more unique No. 7 vs. No. 2 series in NBA history. Let’s set the stage for the first career postseason matchup between LeBron James and Chris Paul. Season Series Phoenix took two of three matchups, but that’s hardly indicative of, well, anything. […]

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schröder has not looked the same since returning from spending 10 days in the league’s health and safety protocols.
