The love affair between Andre Drummond and Detroit might be coming to an end
In case anyone is wondering, there is a way to include WCS in a deal for Drummond. The benefit being to give Detroit someone who can fill the slot for the rest of the season.
The key is to not aggregate Cauley-Stein with anyone else. Detroit has a $2.5mm TPE that WCS’s $2.1mm salary would fit into. Galloway and Rose both fit into the newly reduced Dallas TPE. Such a deal might essentially be Rose/Drummond or Galloway/Drummond for Wright/WCS. But, it would actually be a series of deals:
1. Wright + Lee for Drummond, then
2. WCS for a highly protected 2044 2nd (using the Detroit TPE), then
3. Rose (or Galloway) for a highly protected 2045 2nd (using the remaining Dallas TPE).
Would rather have Willie than Drummond.
