They needed talent; they would figure out the rest later. The figuring it out part has been harder than expected, especially with both Jackson and Drummond plateauing. Detroit has quietly explored the trade market for each of its franchise centerpieces, according to sources across the league, and come away disappointed with the potential return. (Van Gundy himself has said anyone is available for "the right price.")Any Drummond deal at the deadline is an extreme long shot, but Jackson remains in play for Minnesota, Orlando, New Orleans, or some mystery destination. Even if Detroit keeps him, missing the playoffs would put dramatic changes on the table this summer.
Absolutely not.I think he's a great player but he's a 1990's center. A dinosaur. Wouldn't touch Drummond with a 10 foot pole. Can you imagine Horford and Drummond trying to guard the Cavs pick and roll with lebron/Kyrie or Lebron/Love? It would be a nightmare/car crash scene for us.He also hurts the spacing IT and our shooters need.Great player but just doesn't fit with what we are trying to do with spacing/shooting/ball movement. We need multidimensional players.

Now, others will come back and say "you're paying Horford similar money for the next three years, and he's not a transcendent talent". Correct. But Horford was intended as the stepping stone towards acquiring another superstar, not the end game. Drummond would essentially clog up the Celtics' cap situation for years.
