    Are you saying he wasn't LAST time LA was a free agent? How'd that work out.

    Today until a week or two before the playoffs

    Though I expect players to start being bought out in a couple days to a week.

    Drummond is frustrating. He's not half as good a defender as he should be, and he's not a good pick and roll player and he can't shoot. Basically he's a great rebounder who demands the ball more than he deserves.

    No I'm not. I'm saying it will be up to him to convince Aldridge to sign with Portland after he is bought out.

    The FA players have to be on the roster a few weeks before the playoffs start to be eligible to play. I don't remember the exact date, but it's typically ~3 weeks after the trade deadline.

    I think Aldridge would come here if Olshey/the team wanted and needed him. Not sure about that second part. I go back and forth on it. I think he could help, but I think there will be better players available.

    That's what he will do wherever he goes. He'd come as injury insurance for Jones and Covington.

    Guys have 48 hours to pass through waivers, so the technical answer would be Saturday?

    And yet I badly wish he'd come to Portland.

    Hmmmm I don't think the Lakers can get Drummond AND LMA.

    But maybe LMA is going to Miami.
