Magic Johnson Reacts To Lakers Signing Andre Drummond

The Los Angeles Lakers made a big signing and fans couldn’t be happier. Hall of Famer Magic Johnson follows every move LA makes and he had a really interesting reaction to the signing of Andre Drummond.

The Lakers front office added a lot of power to their roster. Players have a chance to win more games with Drummond in the formula. The former Cavaliers and Pistons center will sign a deal with the Lakers after getting his buyout from the Cavaliers.

Drummond met with the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Hornets. However, he decided to join the defending champions.

Magic Johnson likes Andre Drummond

The Lakers could really use a center like Drummond. They are entering the final stages of the 2020-21 NBA season. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are out and the team needs some help on the floor. LA has lost too many games, and they need to get ready for the postseason. Lakers players can’t lose more games because they may leave the playoff picture.

Magic Johnson took notice of the latest signing and his reaction was pretty hilarious. If you ask the Hall of Famer, he will say that LA made the right move at the right time. LA needed Drummond badly. Johnson is really excited about the new addition.

“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,” Johnson wrote in a tweet on Sunday.

Johnson is excited about Drummond’s skills. The Lakers will get a nice boost down the stretch. Frank Vogel witnessed unsteady play from Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell. Drummond could fix some of the damage. He averaged 17.5 points and 13.5 rebounds in 25 regular-season games with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The 27-year-old was bought out by the Cavaliers after the franchise failed to trade Drummond prior to the trade deadline. Cleveland decided to part ways with him and Drummond hasn’t played since mid-February.
