<p>There’s been many great rebounders in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-lebron-james-ripped-over-contract-extension-tom-brady-took-a-winners-discount-20220819-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>National Basketball Association</strong></a> history. For example, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rings-bill-russell-and-the-players-with-the-most-nba-championships-20220801-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bill Russell</strong></a>, who registered<strong>21,620 rebounds</strong> in just <strong>963 games</strong>. A basketballstat that started to being recorded since the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-history-by-year-complete-list-of-all-nba-finals-championship-games-20220601-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>1950-51 NBA Season</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Therefore, when there are talks about the best rebounder in NBA history, should be mentioned players such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/luka-doncic-shares-a-record-with-michael-jordan-and-wilt-chamberlain-20220706-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Wilt Chamberlain</strong></a> with <strong>23,924 boards</strong>, alongside the named <strong>Bill Russell</strong>and, to complete the podium, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-kareem-abdul-jabbars-farewell-to-bill-russell-20220801-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</strong></a> with<strong>17,440 rebounds</strong> in his career.</p>
<p>And now, <strong>Andre Drummond</strong>just entered himself into the debate, because of his bold statements coming to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-2022-2023-when-does-the-next-season-start-20220617-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2022-23 NBA Season</strong></a>. Therefore, the social media debates started to talk about it, since the <strong>Chicago Bulls’ center</strong> now might enter in his final stage of his career.</p>
<h2>NBA:How many times has Andre Drummond led the NBA in rebounding?</h2>
<p>As reported byMike Anthony of the CT Insider, Andre Drummondsaid, <em><strong>“he hopes to play until he’s well into his 30’s. And when all is said and done, Drummond said he hopes to be remembered as the best rebounder in NBA history.”“I think I’m already there,” Drummond said. “I’m on my way. By the time I retire, I’ll go down as the best rebounder ever — if not already.”</strong></em></p>
<p>So, there is a debate going on about his impact in the rebounding asset. According to the specialized site <strong>StatMuse</strong>, Drummond hasgrabbed <strong>9,519 boards</strong> in his 10-season career. Also, Drummond has led the NBA in rebounding for <strong>4 seasons</strong>, in<strong>2015-16, 2017-18, 2018-19</strong>and <strong>2019-20</strong> seasons.</p>
<p>However, he isn’t near the top-10 tier list of players with most rebounds in the NBA history. Which is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/rajon-rondo-and-the-nba-champions-available-in-the-free-agency-20220731-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dwight</strong> <strong>Howard</strong></a> with<strong>14,627 rebounds</strong> in his career. Although, <strong>Drummond</strong> is the 10th player in NBA history with the best rebounds per game, with <strong>13 boards</strong> per game.</p>

<p></p>
<h2>Kawhi Leonard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210726_BUS_173423_kawhi_leonard_crop1627331300425.jpg_22069893_20520b85.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Kawhi Leonard (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong> is technically a free agent, but rumors have it that Leonard will sign an extension to stay with Los Angeles Clippers, despite the fact that he may miss the enter season due to a knee injury. Reports state it is only a matter of time before he puts pen to paper, but just how much will the Clippers want to keep a high price player that may miss next season altogether? Rumors have it that the Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, and the New York Knicks may go after Leonard, but they will need to bring a big checkbook.</p>
<h2>Chris Paul</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210726_BUS_173423_chris_paul_crop1627331383097.jpg_22069893_34dd1428.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Chris Paul (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Paul</strong> can still go even at 36 years old. Paul had a very healthy season for the Suns, having 16 points per game and lit it up in Game 1 of the NBA Finals with 32 points. Paul could become a free agent after turning down a contract from the Suns and it is rumored that the Knicks could make a move for the veteran.</p>
<h2>Andre Drummond</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210726_BUS_173423_andre_drummond_crop1627331542727.jpg_22069893_ec8141be.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Andre Drummond (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Andre Drummond</strong> would like to stay with the Lakers, but he does not want to take a pay cut, this has opened up the doors for other teams to inquire, potential landing spots could be the Clippers, Celtics, and Nets.</p>
<h2>DeMar DeRozan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210726_BUS_173423_demar_derozan_i_crop1627331626454.jpg_22069893_64df2bdf.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    DeMar DeRozan (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Spurs player is set to look for a team where he can win a ring. It is said that <strong>DeMar DeRozan i</strong>s favoring the chance to be a champion over salary and after 8 seasons of recording 20 points per season, DeRozan would be a very interesting pick up for anyone. The Lakers are said to be the team that could pull the trigger.</p>
<h2>Blake Griffin</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210726_BUS_173423_blake_griffin_crop1627331694748.jpg_22069893_00ea79d8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Blake Griffin (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Blake Griffin</strong> bounced back with the Brooklyn Nets in a big way last season, and after the playoffs he could be on the list of many teams entering the new season. Rumors have it that the Nets will put a better offer on the table but look for the Lakers and Bulls to have a say in the matter.</p>

NBA 2021 Free Agency: 5 players that should be on everyone’s wish list

NBA 2021 Free Agency: 5 players that should be on everyone’s wish list - Bolavip US

<p>The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong></a>made a huge move when they signed <strong>Andre Drummond</strong> after he completed his buyout with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cleveland-cavaliers-t98547" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cleveland Cavaliers</strong></a>. They had added one of the <strong>best rebounders in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>to a championship core.</p>
<p>Drummond, however, was one of the <strong>biggest disappointments of the season.</strong> He was exposed on defense and inefficient on offense, and failed to step up when the team needed him the most at the end of the season.</p>
<p>Even so, the Lakers reportedly want him playing next to<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis</strong> in the frontcourt, but his latest activity on social media could be a hint of him not wanting to come back next season.</p>

<h2>Andre Drummond Blames Frank Vogel For His Terrible Performances</h2>
<p>A fan called him out on Instagram for his poor performances, claiming that he can’t dominate in the paint like <strong>Deandre Ayton and Brook Lopez</strong> are doing in the NBA playoffs right now. And instead of ignoring him or vowing to be better, <strong>he just took a shot at Frank Vogel.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="466" data-size="w:1284,h:998" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210707_BUS_172723_e5pwn5swua0sebw.jpg_54018137_6ef01119.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    via NBA Central   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Drummond said that he could dominate like those players if the coach gave him more minutes. But the reality is that he wasn’t on the court <strong>because he was unplayable </strong>and a huge liability on every single possession.</p>
<p>Andre Drummond is due to become an unrestricted free agent but did absolutely nothing that could make an NBA team believe that he’s worthy of something more than a veteran minimum deal. He was just torched and <strong>his game is obsolete for today’s game.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-98">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Winners don’t make excuses or blame others for their failures. They take their chin up and say that they’ll be better and actually put some work in to improve. If the Lakers had any second thoughts about bringing him back, <strong>then this should do it.</strong></p>

Lakers news: Andre Drummond takes a shot at Frank Vogel

Lakers news: Andre Drummond takes a shot at Frank Vogel - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>entered the season with high hopes and expectations. Being the defending <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Champions,</strong> they added multiple key pieces to their rotation. Sadly, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis’</strong> injuries took a massive toll on their chances of clinching the first spot in the Western Conference.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, now that Davis is back on the court and that it’s only a matter of days before LeBron James comes back from his high-ankle injury, the purple-and-gold can start dreaming of another <strong>NBA championship again.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why newcomer <strong>Andre Drummond </strong>is so excited about having the chance of finally <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-hints-at-comeback-with-an-epic-post-on-instagram-20210409-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">playing next to LeBron James,</a> claiming that he’ll get tons of easy looks at the basket and he’ll make the rest of the team better.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Andre Drummond Is Ecstatic About LeBron James’ Return From Injury</h2>
<p><em><strong>“You know what? I don’t think my brain can process what type of opportunities will come from him being on the court. </strong>Right now we can’t control him not being in there… but depending on when he does come, I’m sure great things will happen for everybody,” </em>Drummond said, as quoted by <strong>Fadeaway World.</strong></p>
<p>It’s not a secret that LeBron James thrives while making his teammates better, and the Lakers’ roster is designed to go through <em>The King</em> <strong>on almost every single touch, </strong>so Drummond has a valid point right there.</p>
<p>LeBron was playing at an MVP level before falling with that injury, averaging<strong> 33.4 minutes,25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.4 three-pointers</strong> per game in 51/36/70 shooting splits.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-93">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Now, the Lakers are unlikely to finish better than 5th in the West,thus making it unlikely that they’ll have homecourt advantage in any playoff series. At least, they’ll have something even better: <strong>a well-rested LeBron James</strong>, which is a scary thought for the rest of the league.</p>

<p>The<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Los Angeles Lakers </strong></a>entered this season as the team to beat not only in the Western Conference but <strong>in the whole<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA.</a></strong> Now, they added even more firepower after quite the interesting offseason.</p>
<p>But, given that they were still struggling to establish an interior presence – especially with Anthony Davis on the shelf for most of the season – they completed arguably their most important signing of the year:<strong> Andre Drummond.</strong></p>
<p>Drummond is going to give them a much-needed boost ahead of the playoffs with his ability to dominate both sides of the glass and his newfound <strong>defensive skills. </strong>However, it’ll take some time before he gets used to his new system.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-52">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<h2>Kyle Kuzma Throws Shade At The Detroit Pistons And Cleveland Cavaliers</h2>
<p>Drummond has had some ups-and-downs over his first couple of games with the team, which is normal considering he’s just learning things on the go. That’s why<strong> Kyle Kuzma</strong> didn’t waste the chance to diss his former coaches, saying this is the first time that he’s actually being coached:</p>
<p><em>“I mean, it’s just a process, man. It’s not going to happen overnight. Rome wasn’t built overnight. I think that for him, it’s a big adjustment. <strong>When you think about it, he’s kind of really never really been coached in his career. Playing in Detroit, in Cleveland, and then coming here into a championship organization, it’s tough,</strong></em><strong>“</strong> Kuzma said.</p>
<p>That’s just classic Kuzma and exactly why some people j<strong>ust can’t take him seriously. </strong>He’s constantly taking uncalled shots at everybody else and talking as if he were the reason why the Lakers are the reigning champions.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-74">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Then again, he’s got a bit of a point this time. It’ll take Drummond a couple of weeks to adapt and fulfill the role the Lakers want out of him, <strong>especially when <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis come back.</strong></p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong></a>are going through a tough stretch lately, as they’ve <strong>lost their top-three scorers</strong> due to multiple injuries. And, regardless of how good the supporting cast is, you’re not going to win many games in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> if you’re missing your three top guns.</p>
<p>At least, the purple-and-gold could get a glimpse of what <strong>Andre Drummond </strong>can give them going forward, as the recently acquired big man was able to play in his first full game with the franchise.</p>
<p>Drummond’s debut a couple of weeks ago was cut short due to a gruesome toe injury. He was forced to miss the next four games until making his comeback last night in a loss to the <strong>Miami Heat.</strong></p>

<h2>Andre Drummond Opens Up On His First Full Game As A Laker</h2>
<p>And even though the outcome wasn’t great and it was clear that he still needs to get a better understanding of their system, Drummond was still<strong> pretty excited</strong> about what’s to come for them:</p>
<p><em><strong>“The guys that played did a hell of a job keeping the fight in this game,” </strong></em>Drummond started.<em>“(The injured toe) It felt good. A little sore but it’s not going to hold me back.”</em></p>
<p><em>“This being my first real game I played (for the Lakers), it felt good being out there. I’m still trying to figure guys out.<strong> I caught myself running into guys a few times,” </strong></em>the former Pistons star concluded.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Coach Frank Vogel Lauds Andre Drummond After First Full Game</h2>
<p>Lakers coach<strong> Frank Vogel</strong> was also quite thrilled about his recently acquired weapon, lauding him for his dominant effort on both sides of the glass and his activity on the defensive end of the floor:</p>
<p><em>“Drummond was great. He competed, he does what he does,<strong> 15 and 12 in 26 minutes, four offensive boards, great screener, active hands defensively. </strong>Offensively, there’s a lot to learn still within our system, both sides of our ball, learning our teammates. Good first full game,”</em> the coach told the media via Zoom.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/04/08/noticia_0006.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-61">     </div>
<p></p></div>

<p>The Lakers have a chance to do something really special with Drummond locking down the paint once<strong> Anthony Davis and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> </strong>come back, so don’t rule out the defending champions even if they’re not winning many games right now.</p>

Andre Drummond gets brutally honest on finally playing for the Lakers

Andre Drummond gets brutally honest on finally playing for the Lakers - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>were going through a bit of a tough stretch lately. <strong>Anthony Davis and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James </a></strong>got hurt and their chances of making the playoffs were in serious jeopardy, believe it or not.</p>
<p>Moreover, it seemed like their woes at the center position were far from being sold, with an aging <strong>Marc Gasol </strong>struggling on both ends of the floor and other players like<strong> Damian Jones or Devontae Cacok </strong>trying to fill that void.</p>
<p>Now, they’re once again at the top of the list of the candidates to win the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Championship</strong> after adding former<strong> Detroit Pistons star Andre Drummond</strong>, one of the most dominant rebounders ever.</p>

<p>Drummond will get the Lakers a massive boost in the paint with his presence inside, let alone his physical defense. Also, next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they’ll have <strong>one of the toughest frontcourts in the league.</strong></p>
<h2>Lakers Players React To Andre Drummond’s Signing</h2>
<p>Obviously, Lakers players were<strong> quite thrilled</strong> to find out the news of Drummond’s signing, and here are some of the best reactions to it:</p>
<p><em>“He’s a strong solid player on both sides of the floor. … We can’t wait for him to get here. We’re going to welcome him with open arms,”</em> said <strong>Montrezl Harrell.</strong></p>
<p><em>“I got somebody to battle with on the boards,” </em>added <strong>Kyle Kuzma.</strong></p>
<p><em>“Congratulations to@AndreDrummond for signing with the@Lakers and welcome to Los Angeles! Andre is just what the Lakers need; a big man who can score, rebound, and defend,”</em> Lakers legend<strong> Magic Johnson</strong> tweeted.</p>
<p><em>“Andre Drummond gives us powerful, anchor-point skills on both ends of the court,” Rob Pelinka said. “We feel extremely fortunate to add a player of his caliber and magnitude to our core group at this stage of our journey to defend the NBA title,”</em><strong> GM Rob Pelinka</strong> also said.</p>
<p>It’s clear that the Lakers are determined to win back-to-back championships and Drummond’s presence surely helps in that matter, regardless of how many players keep signing with the <strong>Brooklyn Nets.</strong></p>

However, <strong>his future probably won’t be in Cleveland anymore</strong>.</p>
<p>According to multiple reports, <strong>the Cavs are looking to trade the center to another franchise while they areno longer playing him</strong>. Apparently both general manager Koby Altman and Jeff Schwartz, the center’s agent, agreed to proceed with this. However, thesituation turns difficult as the organization only have time until March 25, 2021, date of the trade deadline.</p>
<p>But aside from that, there’s another factor that can be an issue for the Cavs when trying to find a place to trade him. The player’s salary isaccording to his level and to the moment when he was at Detroit, so it’s an expensive one. <strong>Anyone interested in the center must tobe able to afford him</strong>.

<p>Drummond has made great strides as a defender over the past couple of years and he’s been the <strong>most dominant rebounder</strong> in the league since he was drafted, so there’s no wonder why there are many teams interested in his services.</p>
<p>The Lakers, however, could only make a run at him if he gets bought out following the trade deadline, as they’re unwilling to part ways with any of their assets in a trade. Sadly, <strong>that could cost them a shot at him.</strong></p>

<p>Andre Drummond is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, thus making it hard for other teams to trust him enough to trade a lot for him. Then again, that might be their only chance to land the<strong> best available big man in the trade market right now.</strong></p>

<p>The<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>entered this season as perhaps the<strong> most overpowered team in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong>. They were coming off an epic run in the bubble in Orlando and had only gotten better with the additions they made in the offseason.</p>
<p>Now, however, the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> figure to be the most stacked team in the league, while the <strong>Utah Jazz </strong>are having a historical season. That, plus <strong>Anthony Davis</strong>‘ injury, has made the Lakers wonder whether they could get even better.</p>
<p>That’s why, according to <strong>Sam Amico of The Athletic, </strong>they’ve set their sight in<strong> Cleveland Cavaliers</strong> big man<strong> Andre Drummond</strong>, who’s expected to be either traded or bought out at some point in the season.</p>

<h2>The Lakers Will Only Pursue Andre Drummond If He Gets Bought Out</h2>
<p>Then again, the purple and gold won’t have it easy to land the former Detroit Pistons star, as they’ll have to compete with the<strong> Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, and Dallas Mavericks.</strong> Also, they can only sign him after a buyout:</p>
