The Toronto Raptors could sign Drummond when the 2020-21 season is over to bolster their frontcourt, which needed an infusion of talent after the departures of Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol last offseason.
After only passing interest in the former All-Star a year ago, Andre Drummond is suddenly a hot commodity since joining the Cavs. He’s averaging a career-high 18.6 points and 14.2 rebounds in only 29.7 minutes a game this season. Drummond’s impending free agency may have something to do with his motivation, but he’s now on the radar of several teams aside from the Toronto Raptors.
Among them are the Brooklyn Nets, who need a rim protector and rebounder. NBA rumors continue to surround the Nets and Andre Drummond, who would be an excellent piece in their bid to win the championship this season.
When the Cavaliers traded for the Brooklyn Nets’ Jarrett Allen in January, Drummond became somewhat expendable with a logjam at the center position that also includes JaVale McGee.
NBA Rumors: Toronto Raptors could trade for Andre Drummond instead
As reported earlier, NBA rumors have circulated that there are people around the Toronto Raptors who would like to move forward without Kyle Lowry. Lowry could be shipped to a suitor ahead of the trade deadline. The Cleveland Cavaliers could swoop in and seal the deal by offering Andre Drummond in exchange.
Lowry could be a mentor to the Cavs’ young backcourt of Darius Garland and Collin Sexton while providing excellent leadership to the entire team. Drummond could suddenly make the Raptors a title contender after a slow start.
A blockbuster trade for Andre Drummond could rock the Eastern Conference and give the Toronto Raptors another shot at making a deep postseason run.
