These are all star players, now where is Deandre Jordan will insert? is he going to be a bench or 2nd unit here? I'm not complaining though as these really are good players but I believe Jordan is good defensively so he is more needed than any other center in the team.

If I'm not mistake, LaMarcus Aldridge plays more in a position as Power Forward,  so he is not a natural big man though his height is really for centers. However, if you compare with Jordan, he has been playing as a center in his entire career, all what he does best is his defense and some dunks if there's an opportunity.

Too bad.
You could've won it if not for the Barnes shot.
That's correct. He's listed as a power forward.
But with the game Nets will play it won't matter to them.
They need speed and shooters and Aldridge fits the description needed by the team.

Could also be the reason why they are not offering anything to Drummond. They have Jordan already which can focus on rebounds and they just want to someone to fill the blank whenever Jordan needs a rest. I bet they will use Aldridge more as a center.

Nets management is probably Kyrie Irving. Nets management did well to get Kyrie Irving from Boston. Then they could just sit back and enjoy the ride.   This buyouts and sighing for minimum salaries are ...

😁 Like the Lakers last season...
That's how you know the champions. No work, No luck.

Something like that. But unlike Lakers last season, the turned off events from different teams are really interesting. Just like how Denver
solidify their front lines.

It's just an example and if Lakers able to sign Drummond which really a big help to body himself inside together with a healthy LeBron and AD. Not a sure deal for the Nets even they've got a very solid squad.

Clippers also take a good step for bringing a playmaker, Rondo are capable to create space while PG and Kawhai are working.

It seems like he needs to iron out a few formalities before signing the contract, considering that he will become an unrestricted free agent today. Anyway, this deal will be helpful for the Lakers, and I hope Drummond will be a great teammate for Lebron and AD.

Lakers were better off keeping both McGee and Howard in the offseason...

I look at Drummond as a slightly improved version of Tristan Thompson for LeBron in his days with the Cavs. Drummond can't shoot, atrocious fg% as a center considering he is only finishing inside at 47%. He will be a huge liability at the free-throw line with 58%. At least the Nets didn't get another body, other than that, he can up his orebs catching Pope and Kuzma's 3pt bricks.

At this point this is getting kind of stupid.  A coue all star teams and everyone else.  The Nets situation is rediculous, now when everyone is healthy on the Lakers another redicullus team.  Sorry but its the jazz and Lakers in the west and the nets in the East (so long as everyone is healthy) and then the rest of the NBA.  Its gonna get boring if this is the way it is.  

Honestly I miss the 80s and 90s nba where the best players wanted to play against each other and not with each other.  Made for a balanced nba and great rivalries.  This is getting to be a joke...

The Nets and the Lakers should be praised and not vilified. Look at where these teams were a few years ago. The Nets had literally the worst situation in the league, with a terrible team and most of its draft capital traded away for hasbeens by one Billy Knight. I'm a Lakers fan and I remember the golden days of Ronnie Price, Robert Sacre and Byron Scott telling everyone threepointers are overrated. Both teams were an effing joke.

What happened since then is both teams fired their incompetent GMs and got people who actually understand basketball. Both teams executed shrewd trades, especially LA had a few really good drafts, though Brooklyn found Jarett Allen at pick 20. Then they had the stars sign with them, but neither LeBron nor Durant would have signed if the teams had stayed terrible. At the point of signing the stars both teams had a good cadre of young players on reasonable contracts. In prior years the Lakers couldn't even get meetings with top free agents, let alone a serious conversation.

Sure, players prefer to come to LA or New York than to Minnesota, but you gotta create the conditions to have them sign in the first place and you do that by smart management. The Knicks or Bulls are a great example how to not do business.
