Andre Drummond joining the Los Angeles Lakers became the latest highlight of the "Last Rampage" on the NBA trade and signing market this year. Before the four-time rebounding leader made his decision, many assumed that the Brooklyn Nets already have the championship in the bag after adding two All-Star big men, Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge, to their lineup.
The two teams are not the only big players on board. For example, the Miami Heat built a new "Big 3" by acquiring Victor Oladipo via trade; the Chciago Bulls found Zach Lavine an All-Star teammate Nikola Vucevic from the Orlando Magic; the Denver Nuggets enhanced their squad by landing Aaron Gordon; the Los Angeles Clippers finally got themselves a true orchestrator by replacing Lou Williams with Rajon Rondo.
Will these deals bring teams closer to what they are after?
