Spending continues but as free agency continues to show, teams are more focused on retention (bird rights/extensions etc..). If you are not part of their future, free agency is a danger zone.

The Drummond salary is for a player with 10 years of service or more. However, for cap purposes $2.45M (2 YOS) will count.

The Lakers will now focus on finding Walker Kessler's backup on the market -- with centers such as Andre Drummond, Jonas Valanciunas and Kevon Looney among those being considered, sources said. The Wizards took a patient approach to the start of free agency and now land a durable, reliable center to join Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr in the frontcourt.

Lakers replenish their second round assets (had 1 prior) prior to the trade. In the 23 games with Washington last season, Hardy shot 42% from 3. Washington adds center depth with Ayton. The Wizards could acquire Ayton into the $13.4M Kelly Olynyk exception (expires on 7/9) This would give them a new $6M exception
