Drummond to ATL?

Pistons Haven't Been Offered Any First Round Picks For Andre Drummond

The Detroit Pistons haven't received any first round pick offers for Andre Drummond.

Drummond can become a free agent this offseason, which mitigates what teams might be willing to give up for him. Drummond has a player option worth $28.7 million next season.

I'm not sure many teams have expiring contracts to match AND are willing to move a 1st for him, considering he's a free agent this summer and his skills are not well suited for the current NBA game

The initial deal discussed between the Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks over Drummond consisted of only expiring contracts.

Somebody will offer them a 1st I would imagine. 

Maybe something like this: Dedmon, Joseph, Protected 1st for Drummond.  Not sure the Pistons do that as it adds long term salary, but I think it is a reasonable trade for both teams.

All the hypotheticals from the "experts" I've heard always say something like that, teams aren't willing to give up a pick for what might be a short term rental.

What does Drummond's next contract look like?  Shouldn't this lack of buyers for Drummond in the trade market kind of signal his league wide appeal?  What team is hoping to sign Drummond to a big deal in the offseason? Maybe he gets $60m/3yrs?  And any offer he gets is going to be from a team like Atlanta.  Is he going to opt out of $28.8m next year to take that?  Especially when everybody's saving money for the summer of Giannis in '21.  There will be more options next off season as more teams will have money to throw around.

I just don't see him opting out of his $28.8m for next year.

I mean if OKC isn't receiving good offers for Steven Adams, why would Drummond draw anything good? He's not having a good year this year either to sell teams on bringing him in.

I think at this stage everyone knows what Drummond will give a team. He’s a pretty safe bet for 15/15/2/1.5/1.5 with no ability to stretch the floor and inconsistent defence.

Probably the best rebounder of the last 10 years, and is a strong inside scorer, but whether or not he can contribute to winning is a completely different question.

Thing is he's not even that efficient of a scorer. Just average TS% due to mediocre FG% for a dunker and poor FT shooting. He's turning it over at an obscene rate too. Not a great showcase year at all.

Yeah, his turnover situation is really quite unacceptable. He’s no longer that 38% FT shooter he was throughout his first 5 years, but he still offers nothing outside 8 feet. Added to his contract situation and he’s a bad asset to try and move.

Lakers like that deal, but not sure the other 2 teams do it.

Yeah it's not the greatest deal. C's imo need to know if Hayward was staying or going. Pistons have to be looking to rebuild.

That's a decent second rounder.

They arguably get to start a better center now anyway.

[Phantom255x]

And people wanted us to trade Hayward for Drummond

[ozgod]

He ain't too happy about it either
