Not sure Drummond would solve any of our problems or just fix one while causing another. But the Drummond trade wheels are moving (whether it involves us or not)

Here is the quote from Sham's piece:
The Raptors and Cavaliers are engaged in active talks on a deal that would send Drummond to Toronto/Tampa, sources tell The Athletic. Discussions between the two sides have occurred in the last few days, and Drummond was pulled from the lineup in Sunday’s game against the Clippers due to “rest†with Cleveland on a back-to-back at the Clippers and the Warriors on Monday. Multiple sources told The Athletic that Drummond was pulled from the lineup also in part due to his “attitude and play†recently, and sources say Cavaliers coach JB Bickerstaff has had multiple sit-down conversations with the big man.

It's really tough to make the salaries work on a Drummond trade involving players I want to give up for him. I also have a hard time trading Powell away for a center with there being uncertainty with Lowry's future. If we knew Lowry was returning that would be one thing. But if we lose Lowry and Powell in the next 6 months that is a big hole in the backcourt.
Edit--I'd rather have Ibaka and the stuff we have to give up than Drummond.Last edited by Rudy Bargnani; Mon Feb 15, 2021, 12:38 PM.

Hey we want to compete or nah? I do think this would help us. We're 29th in the rebounding category.

Feels like Masai/Bobby completely misread that situation, as Serge is a guy that wanted to be in Toronto and was a big part of the team culture.

I'd be pissed if they were sending Lowry to the Cavs. That's no way to treat the GROAT.
It was an ugly trade of expiring contracts and a throwaway pick. Drummond never really improved his market. If anything it should be lower since he's an expiring contract and could leave in free agency.
So having to give up someone like Norm or even Lowry (to a third team say) would be a bad move, unless we can get better assets. Drummond isn't worth dismantling the team for.

Biggest problem with Drummond is that he can’t control himself on offense. He thinks he’s a guard and tries these ridiculous crossovers and skill stuff that never works. If he could be happy with like 15% USG, lob dunks and put backs, he would fit in just fine.... but he won’t.
