Andre Drummond is on the trading block. He will be talked about a lot today because of the comments made by Draymond Green last night. Green railed against NBA teams keeping guys out so they will not get hurt versus the double standard that players get chastized if they want to be traded. There is more gray area here, but that’s not the discussion today. Rather it’s Drummond getting traded. Potentially to the team, Milwaukee is playing tonight, the Toronto Raptors. That is good news for Milwaukee moving forward because it prevents Drummond from being bought out and going to Brooklyn.

This would be a big blow to Brooklyn. Baynes is a good bench player, but not a starter. Do they not trust Boucher enough to carry their interior? He seems good enough from my 1000 mile view. https://t.co/X0nYHtoqMM

Brooklyn does not have the assets to make any deals. They can only sign someone who gets bought out by a team. Blake Griffin, if bought out, would be an example of this. Drummond was a guy on their radar which we knew about even though the Bucks got charged with tampering. That will not happen if Cleveland can get actual assets for him. It sounds like that is possible with the potential of a Toronto-Cleveland deal looming. This makes it one less big man for Brooklyn to put with their team. It is desperately needed for the Nets to contend in the playoffs.

Drummond would have been a great fit in Brooklyn with all of the rest of their talent. For other teams in the Eastern Conference, it’s not a big deal for Milwaukee. Giannis owns Drummond. He is too slow and unathletic to compete with the Greek Freak regularly. Drummond is a good matchup for guys like Joel Embiid, Domantous Sabonis, and Bam Adebayo. But Giannis is a problem when he faces the former UConn big man.

We’ll see where Drummond ends up.
