NBA: LA Lakers to complete signing of Andre Drummond

The LA Lakers have won the battle to sign Andre Drummond. The centre left the Cleveland Cavaliers in March after his contract was bought out.

Now, the 27-year-old is set to join the Lakers, who are looking to assemble a super-team of their own to rival the Brooklyn Nets.

The Boston Celtics had also been vying for Drummond‘s signature, but the chance to win the NBA crown with the Lakers this season was too good to turn down.

The Lakers also made it clear to Drummond that he would go straight into their starting five alongside the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Marc Gasol, however, is expected to lose out here.

Andre Drummond will join the Lakers once the details of the 27.9 million dollar buyout of his Cavs contract are ironed out.
