Andre Drummond

When he is a free agent and getting a contract like Kanter, sure. 


On his current deal, no.

Really looking forward to him demanding a max in free agency and getting offered the MLE in return

I wonder how much the Drummond lack of effort/consistency comes down to team situation?

He hasn’t exactly had the best group around him (Reggie Jackson, Tobias Harris, Old D-Rose, & washed up Blake).

Would a change of scenery and a chance on a contender reignite the spark?

Thoughts?

Drummond has been a pretty steady producer for several years.  15-18 pts and 14-16 rebs every year for the last 5 if not 6 or 7 seasons.  Not sure how this demonstrates lack of effort or consistency.  I suppose you could ask for more effort on defense but he is one of the most consistent players in the league.

As to a change of scenery, I suspect he would be happy to get out of Cleveland but I don't expect that is going to result in a big spark in his play over what he has done for the last 6 or 7 seasons.  If you decide you want Drummond, you better plan on getting exactly what he has been (which is a pretty good player nonetheless).

As to the idea of getting him for Kanter money, I am sure his agent is out there figuring out what the market is for him.  If the market is only Kanter money, I think he opts in and with that money, the scenery in Cleveland won't seem so bad.  If the Celtics want Drummond for next season, they will need to figure out a trade, likely involving Hayward and probably multiple teams, an idea I am not necessarily opposed to, depending on the final details of course.

I think he is one of those players who was much move valuable in the NBA before the change in style.   To many good teams in the playoffs that can play him off the floor in crunch time for him to be payed the amount he is.

He's somewhere between Hassan Whiteside and Tristan Thompson, but more expensive than both.  Not a fan.

Drummond for Hayward is an interesting idea I think. Hard to believe he's only 27.
