Does anyone know of a player that accepted a buyout of a big deal and ever got another (even relatively) big contract? MLE level?
His fg% went under 50 last season - this from a guy who doesn’t take outside shots. High usage and low efficiency. The NBA has chuckers but he was a chucker from inside five feet. Oh but it was the Cavaliers fault - that’s what the Lakers thought so they grabbed this numb chucker and started him. He flopped. Now that alleged genius Morey has brought him to Philly to backup Embiid. I don‘t care if he’s only being paid the minimum - he’s still overpaid because he stinks.Honestly, Drummond is an idiot. He blew multiple good opportunities last year. He can't get out of his own way, and his inability to play within himself cost him prob 100M dollars. I knew I should have been worried when he described himself as a "bright" player with nobody asking. If someone asks you what you are that can sometimes be reliable, but anyone who unprompted tells you something specific like that, you have to be suspicious.
Again he is definitely not a prime time player anymore but the man has led the league in rebounding three of the past four years! That does not equate to STINK! Give the man his due!His fg% went under 50 last season - this from a guy who doesn’t take outside shots. High usage and low efficiency.

getting rebounds is ok... as long as it doesn't come from your own chucking, or proceed to chucking a missed shot again.Again he is definitely not a prime time player anymore but the man has led the league in rebounding three of the past four years!

Ok to play like a garbageman. TT swept up garbage for years. The problem is Drummond played like garbage last year and that’s not ok.He was worse than ever. Honestly, when he was younger and played like a garbage man he was way more effective
If I was an NBA owner it would be a violation of minimum pay rules to pay him what he’s worth. Dude went from $28 million last year to minimum and he’s not even 28 years old.Again he is definitely not a prime time player anymore but the man has led the league in rebounding three of the past four years!

I watched Drummond his whole career! Is he in the class of AD, Embid, KAT etc?? Hell No!!!You've never watched Drummond play then?
You can win a championship ship with TT playing heavy minutes. You can’t with Drummond. He’s a net negative basketball player.I watched Drummond his whole career! Is he in the class of AD, Embid, KAT etc?? Hell No!!!
But his inside presence alters a lot of shots and his rebounding prevents other teams from getting second and third chance opportunities and his offensive rebounding got us and his other teams second and third chances at scoring. Talk about his shot selection all you want but I would take him over TT ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! Because teams were actually worried about him scoring on put backs.
There’s an old saying “If you ask for rain you gotta deal with the mud too”.
And there are TONS of players in the NBA just like Drummond that bring both positive and negatives. But you can’t over look and discount what that player does well.
These are Drummond’s Defensive Ratings and # RankDrummond sucks. You don't want him on your team regardless of where you are in the standings. He's an all around negative. He's not even a good defender v most competent NBA offenses who just pnr him into a mismatch or open shot.
they do, but I'm still right.These are Drummond’s Defensive Ratings and # Rank
2015-2016 98.0 6th
2016-2017 99.0 1st
2017-2018 99.0 1st

2019-2020 102.9 6th

These stats seem to contradict your claim that he sucks and isn’t a good defensive player!
Sorry about the double post!
