Andre Drummond seems likely to come to Miami and join the Heat in all his contract difficulties.
The Cleveland Cavaliers publicly announced that they are seeking to trade their starting center and chose not to let him play until the deal is complete. According to Sam Amico in "FortyEight Minutes", the defending Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat has a chance to get the two-time All-Star player.
Ideally, the Cavaliers' management would want to exchange their big men for new talents or future draft picks to help them build young core players. They have been negotiating with teams like the New York Knicks, and the New York Knicks obviously welcome the arrival of the "rebounding king".
But unfortunately, when they chose to let Drummond sit on the sidelines for the rest of Cleveland, they had lost all their chips. Given that the 27-year-old wants to leave, other teams can simply choose to wait for the trade deadline on March 25, which will leave the Cavaliers with no choice but from his expiring $28 million contract. Buy out Drummond.
According to Sam Amico, this puts the Heat in the best position to steal the "rebounding king".
In addition to the salary required to reach an agreement with the Cavaliers, the Heat also urgently need a stable inside line. So far, they have put all the frontcourt burden on Bam Adebayor, and combining him with people like Drummond is beneficial to all parties.
So far this season, Drummond has averaged 17.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game (he didn't play in the last few games).
