Cavs have Drummond on the trading block

27 year old center.  And we have a surplus of good young backcourt players.  Come on Mitch.

 

The Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer planning to play Andre Drummond as they work to trade the two-time All-Star center before the NBA's March 25 deadline, sources told ESPN.

The Cavaliers are moving to make Jarrett Allen the franchise's long-term starting center and believe it's unfair to Drummond to limit his minutes as the organization transitions to Allen, sources said.

Cleveland is starting to gauge the trade market, but there are no serious ongoing discussions with any team, sources told ESPN.

Things that bother me about him...

UFA after this season and will want too much money

Chemistry killer of sorts

I would pass and if I really wanted him do it after the season

He could possibly help dump salary but we almost have to send them Rozier and Zeller to make this happen and no fuggin way on that.

Do not like Drummond or Griffin for this team.  Drummond would be nice for rebounding but would clog the lane either himself or with his defender dropping way off.  Makes it tougher for our guys to drive. Tough to see any other centers available that would make an impact or better than team currently has.

I wonder if we could swing a trade LaMelo straight up for Dwight Howard? He really took us places...lol That was a wasted season!  Rich Cho.....lol man, how did he stay so long? 

cho was counting on AD as our #1

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
