The Cavs gave up a first-round pick in order to <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-cleveland-acquire-jarrett-allen-as-part-of-james-harden-blockbuster-trade/">bring Allen to Cleveland</a>, which for most, does not bode well for the future of Andre Drummond with the Cavaliers.</p><p>More than a few league executives believe that Cleveland’s decision to sacrifice a first-rounder in exchange for Allen only means that they see the 22-year-old as a long-term solution for their frontcourt needs. For one anonymous Eastern Conference exec, this is a clear sign of Drummond’s impending exit:</p><blockquote>“Drummond is definitely out of Cleveland,” said the unnamed executive, via <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/what-james-harden-trade-means/">Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype</a>. “Cleveland wouldn’t give up a first if they didn’t want Allen long-term.”</blockquote><p>Andre Drummond, who is five years the senior of Allen, is on an expiring deal and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer. The Cavs will likely want to cash in on the two-time All-Star soon instead of letting him walk away for nothing in the offseason. As such, it wouldn’t be surprising if Drummond is dealt prior to the deadline.</p><p>It is worth noting, however, that trading away Drummond and the $28.8 million he is owed this season is not going to be an easy task. The 6-foot-10 center still remains to be one of the top big men in the league, but any team that trades for him will need to accept the risk that he could walk away as a free agent in the summer. Depending on what the Cavs’ ask will be, giving up a couple of key assets might not be worth a half-season rental for most teams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He admitted that he became emotional especially in the pre-game proceedings but eventually went down to handle the business right after.</p><blockquote>“Overwhelming amount of feelings rushed through my body,” Drummond said via <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2020/12/inside-andre-drummonds-return-to-detroit-an-emotional-night-that-ended-with-a-cavaliers-win-and-jb-bickerstaffs-trust.html">Cleveland.com</a>. “Just being back in this building again, but on the other side, it was a lot of memories that just rushed through my head, hearing my name again in this arena. After that, the moment was over. Came out in the starting lineup, got ready to play and we came out with a great win.”</blockquote><p>Drummond was selected by the team with the ninth overall pick back in the 2012 NBA Draft and became a mainstay on the team afterward. He spent a total of eight seasons in Motor City where he snagged two All-Star appearances and three NBA rebounding leader awards.</p><p>After the Pistons sought to head a different direction, Drummond was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for Brandon Knight, John Henson, and a 2023 draft pick midway through last season.</p><p>Now that he is starting his 2020-2021 campaign with the Cavaliers, Drummond seemed to have already formed a budding chemistry with his new teammates. In his second game with the team this season, the big man went to work against the Pistons where he racked up a monster all-around performance with 23 points, 16 rebounds, five assists, four steals, and three blocks through 43 minutes played.</p><p>Drummond also got a lift from the solid outings of Collin Sexton who finished with 32 points and Darius Garland who contributed 21 points and 12 assists of his own. After getting entangled with the Pistons all throughout the encounter, the new-look Cavaliers eventually ran away with a 128-119 victory in double overtime.</p><p>The Cleveland-based squad now improved to a 2-0 record and will gun for their third-straight victory as they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 27.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
