One Klutch player down, one more to go.

I'm not too worried about "centers" in today's game. Today's game doesn't require a center but an "athletic" big man (6'10-7 feet) With the exception of AD, Emibid and maybe the Jokvic there aren't a lot of dominate big men in the league anymore. There will be plenty of "athletic" big men to be found.Raising traitors over here.
GLHF Tristan.
Cavs will soon need a C badly. Or any front court player for that matter. Drummond and even Love could be gone as well soon enough.
As much as I hate to see it, he’ll fit in well there.Boston is a real good fit for TT and his game.
Centers are becoming increasingly expendable & replaceable in today’s NBA. That said, if we can get Drummond to agree to a 3-4 year extension at $18-$20M per, that would help bring some stability to the position. At $28M he’s definitely overpaid.I'm not too worried about "centers" in today's game.

It’s gonna be interesting because Drummond has been practicing shooting 3’s this offseason and he obviously thinks he can expand his game, which would lead to a bigger payday. Hopefully his desire to produce in a contract year doesn’t cause division within the Cavaliers. Only time will tell...The ultimate Homer in me thinks Drummond will get hyped on running with the young guys and getting easy dunks from Love.
Reality tells me he will look at our roster and want touches every trip down
Capela is Drummond’s best comp. Drummond is better offensively while Capela is better defensively. Capela is making $18M per year, so that’s about what I think Drummond is worth. You may have to go to $20M per to secure him though.I honestly think Drummond is worth it for ~15-18m. Anymore than that is an overpay. He is a decent but not elite rim protector and tries to do much on the other side. Sure he rebounds well, but would you rather have Drummond or Clint Capela?
