I will go back to what an NBA advance scout who I greatly respect told me of Andre Drummond
"He can get you 30-20 and have no impact on the game"

With Drummond becoming the topic for everyone, this kind of comment could hinder his trade value. The center has always been a phenomenal rebounder and has developed his offensive game as well.
Unfortunately, he has never led a team to a deep playoff run. Prior to joining the Cavaliers, he spent eight seasons with the Detroit Pistons. In the motor city, Drummond improved his game but again couldn’t lead the team to a respectable playoff run.

With the rumors suggesting him being traded in the coming weeks, one might wonder- where the center will join?
Can any team benefit from adding Drummond to their team?
While he might not be a great shooter, Drummond can still get the job done. He is one of the top centers in the league and is a double-double machine. Teams like the Celtics and the Raptors could use his output in their efforts to win an NBA title.
