It’s no secret that the Brooklyn Nets are eyeing the Cleveland Cavaliers’ center, Andre Drummond.
In fact, Drummond’s departure from Cleveland is supposedly imminent after the acquisition of superstar James Harden by the Nets.
“Drummond is the most intriguing player on this list, apart from perhaps Derrick Rose,” wrote Zach Harper of The Athletic, about possible buying scenarios. “Some league sources mentioned, after Harden moved to Brooklyn, that it is only a matter of time before he makes a purchase and joins them to help them out on the inside. Drummond is a difficult player to understand because of how he wants to fit in. He’s obviously better than Kendrick Perkins’ option, [Oklahoma City] Thunder once did, but Drummond demands that you waste your belongings during the game by throwing them at the post office. If you can get Drummond to run across the floor, pick up lobs, set screens, hit the ball and play defense, he’s a great option for someone like the Nets. “
Drummond, 27, is having one of the best campaigns of his career.
The two-time All-Star is collecting his career record of 18.7 points over 14.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals per game this season. He started in 16 games for Cavs.
The Cavaliers were one of the teams that got involved in the Harden business. They got Jarrett Allen, rising star, from the Nets.
As a result of mega trade, the networks have no significant depth. They are especially exhausted as a big man. A player of Drummond’s size and experience can be extremely useful in the future.
However, Cavs will try to maximize the center’s value. Cavs is the number 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.
