The Lakers had struggles since Davis was sidelined, hence, the team was aggressively looking for someone to fill the gap Davis left.

Rumors are growing that the Lakers has high hopes of acquiring Drummond through buyout.

Because of the existing contract of the big men to Cleveland, teams interested are waiting for a buyout so they can offer their own for Drummond as well to lessen the expenses.
