He should refuse to play, the Lakers should waive him, and then sign with us. Despite his shortcomings last year, I'd still take him over Baynes in a heartbeat.
On that note, the NBA should institute a minimum return for teams "waiving" players like Drummond and Aldridge. No way they should be allowed to walk for nothing to help stacked teams. It's bullchit and undermines the integrity of the league imo. Maybe make it a minimum 2nd rounder if they're picked up and lower teams pick first

They should lower the amount of players you can sign from a buyout to 1 per team. Exceptions being if you need to sign more due to injuries or things like that.
Have these bought out players sit out the rest of the season instead?

Players can secretly conspire with a contender and force their teams to buy them out too.
Have these bought out players sit out the rest of the season,
so no team can exploit this loophole.

That's what it should be but no way the union allows it. Buyouts shouldn't be allowed until the end of the season is another way to do it
That's similar to your suggestion, only differrence is that one reason teams buy them out is cap flexibility.
Teams will have to shoulder their salary, they made a mistake in signing or trading for them anyway.

Didn't Gasol make comments about the role here (starter, catching heat for not coming through in bubble playoffs) being too big? Wanted to slide into something nice and easy on the Lakers? Now he's bummed he's losing his minutes?
Serge also took some offense at not being offered a second year but is now getting less PT.
Some of these guys need to realize how well they were treated in Toronto. And/or being a traditional centre in his 30s is a precarious place to be in the current NBA."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Had Kawhi stayed, team will still be intact

Almost started an "Everything Team and NBA Records" thread. The rate that past marks have been falling in the last couple of seasons is remarkable to me. I realize that all of the franchise's past marks are already available somewhere, but comments from the folks who watched the records made, and their impressions at the time are probably worth recording.
As I say, I almost started a thread, then accepted the fact that I don't have the time or memory to do a proper introduction or give that thread's initial post the attention it deserves, so I'm just throwing the idea out there in case it motivates anybody.
But damn. How many team, player, and NBA records fell just last night? What a freakin' game.
