This is a shooters league. We should save the larger cap holds on elite shooting. Mitch at the five goes well with any team who has elite shooting and a high level PG. Drummond, although a very good big, represents a type of game that has not shown to translate into chip contention.

From a resource management perspective, the Knicks certainly should look to package their draft picks to arrive at either a better draft prospect or a budding player on a cap friendly contract (eg Shai Gilgous-Alexander). Questionable whether they could really roster three more rookies next year.

I’d be inclined to use assets to upgrade PG and SF. I am not looking to move Barrett, but if an upgrade presented itself, the Knicks should listen.

That trade by itself isn't bad. But when you factor in team needs, I'm not sure it makes sense.

Aside from wishing ill on their players we have an acting interest in keeping the Mavs as bad as possible

The expiring contract of Andre Drummond is the biggest factor determining his trade value, according to Bobby Marks of ESPN, as the Cleveland Cavaliers are shutting down the veteran center until they can strike a deal.

Drummond is due to make $28.7 million this season.

That means the Cavs will have to take back $23 million worth of contracts in a Drummond trade, and that effort “is a big obstacle right now,” Marks noted.

That said, plenty of teams have a high interest in Drummond, who led the NBA in rebounding last season and is averaging 17.5 points and 13.5 rebounds this year. The list supposedly includes the Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers.

Sources told FortyEightMinutes that Drummond became unhappy with his decreased minutes after the Cavs traded for young center Jarrett Allen, formerly of the Nets.

“Here’s the big question I have when it comes to Andre Drummond,” Marks tweeted. “What happens at 3:01 p.m. on March 25 (trade deadline) when he hasn’t been traded and has been shut down for five weeks? Could be a difference-maker if there’s a buyout down the road.”

Drummond and Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff reportedly have had multiple conversations about Drummond’s approach and effort in recent weeks.

Cavs general manager Koby Altman and Drummond’s camp agreed for Drummond to remain with the team, but not play, until a trade can be made.
