I would expect LA will pay what it takes to keep Caruso (it benefits both player and team). And I think they'll try their hardest to get Schroder into a big new deal via sign-and-trade, that lands them Hield (in a 3-way) or some other reasonably good shooter coming back.
Drummond wants to get paid well, and the Lakers would have no way to sign him to a deal even the size of the big MLE, so he's probably walking elsewhere as a free agent.
