Andre Drummond, 27 years old and averaging 19 pts/16 reb, yeah, it would be nice to have us some of that but at this point, I am not sure I see a deal. We have Tristan Thompson as essentially the poor man's version of Drummond. But Thompson is fine for what we ask him to do. And then there is a Salary/Cap to deal with.
One way to get Drummond would be to trade Kemba, at least in terms of making all the cap rules work. Maybe there is a 3-way with someone who likes Kemba and has some young assets for Cleveland. Do people still want Drummond if you have to give up Kemba?
I have not seen Drummond play in a bit so I am not sure. He certainly is putting up numbers, better numbers than Anthony Davis. My hesitation is that I see him as more center than PF and without the versatility that some of the other top bigs have. I am not sure we have the right big to pair with him or in general, the right team to put around him. With his lack of versatility, you need a pretty specific slot to make him work at his best.
This year, he has played the vast majority of minutes with Nance on the floor with him per NBA lineup stats. If CLE is doing any one big units, they are not doing it with Drummond. I like Drummond, he is a top player in my mind, but may not be right for this team at this time.
