Apr. 26, 2024 – 11:09 – It’s now more than likely that we will see an Andre Drummond trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of the March 25 deadline. This is magnified by the fact that Cleveland opted to remove Drummond from its lineup until a trade can be worked out.
Drummond, 27, is actually in the midst of a career-best season. He’s averaging 17.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals on 47% shooting from the field. The four-time NBA rebounding champion also continues to play elite-level defense.
Set to hit free agency this coming summer, Drummond is counting $28.75 million against the cap. That complicates things further given the economic downturn around the NBA due to COVID-19.
However, there’s not going to be a shortage of NBA teams interested in his services.
