Even though the Los Angeles Lakers did not make any moves at the trade deadline, there are still avenues of improving the roster on the buyout market.
The biggest name available is center Andre Drummond after he recently completed a buyout with the Cleveland Cavaliers, making him a free agent that can sign with any team.
The Lakers have made it clear that Drummond is their top priority for a while now and have long believed to be the favorites to land him.
Drummond began meeting with teams the last few days, with the Lakers among the teams to secure a meeting to pitch him on playing in Los Angeles for the remainder of the season.
