Here is some perspective on Andre Drummond and the Toronto Raptors:

After Tuesday's win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's clear whom the Detroit Pistons want to be the face of their franchise and their future star. It isn't Andre Drummond. Rookie Sekou Doumbouya is a bad man after doing THIS to Tristan Thompson underneath the Cavaliers' basket:

In the four games since Doumbouya entered the starting lineup for the Pistons, he has averaged 13.0 points per game and has an overall plus/minus of +5, and has been a huge factor in Detroit looking more than mediocre for the first time this season.

Following the French rookie's solid performance and the decent showing of other Pistons young players such as Bruce Brown, Luke Kennard and Christian Wood this season, many Detroit fans and sports writers are convinced that the Pistons will be sellers at the trade deadline to embrace this youth movement.

In order to go all in on that movement, start a full rebuild, and let the young players blossom, the first priority of the Pistons should be to get rid of the expensive contracts on their books.

Look no further than Andre Drummond to find that expensive contract, as the veteran center is owed almost $29 million this season, and with him being a free agent at season's end who has expressed interest in testing the free agency waters, the Pistons might as well get some assets for Drummond while they still have the chance.

While Drummond does come with a hefty pricetag, his value to a contending team is clear. He is one of the top of the top rebounders in the league who can role to the rim hard and could kick the ball out to open shooters.

Even though the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks, as well as the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks have expressed interest in acquiring the big man, the team that would be the best situation for Drummond would be the defending champion Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors have the best chance at matching the salary if they throw starting center Marc Gasol and his $25.6 million dollar contract, along with a first round pick that will likely be at the end of the draft. And to sweeten the offer, Toronto could throw in a talented young player like Terence Davis or Chris Boucher to add on to the Pistons core.

The Ringer's D.J. Foster worded it perfectly when he sung the praise of Drummond going to Toronto, saying how playing with Kyle Lowry in the pick-and-roll, which is what Serge Ibaka scored more than a third of his points on this season, could unlock his potential as a basketball player.

With live shooters (Toronto is fifth in 3s made and fifth in 3-point percentage) in every spot and meaningful games on tap, Drummond would finally get the chance to star in the supporting role someone with his skill set was always meant to play.

As great of a player as Drummond is, in all his years corralling rebounds and dunking for a mediocre Pistons team is not truly unlocking his full abilities as a basketball player.

Putting the big man in Detroit gives him an ideal situation; he has an experienced veteran point guard to run the offense, quality shooters like Fred Van Vleet and Norman Powell to kick out to on double teams in the post, and a defensive swiss army knife in Pascal Siakam to stifle opponents on the other end of the floor.

Getting rid of Drummond is a tough, but necessary pill for fans of the Pistons to swallow. He has had some great years in Detroit, but in order for the Pistons to fully throw themselves into this rebuild, they need to cut the cord and let Drummond flourish on a title contender like the Toronto Raptors.
