Two years $10 million isn't a bad deal. He definitely helps our rebounding woes. Great guy for Bona to learn from in that department.

He went HAM last season when Vuc was out.

29 TRB% is crazy

This is very good

Happy to have him back. Just please don't block any of our own players breakaway dunk attempts.

I'm happy to see him back. He'll be a more competent backup 5 than Reed, and hopefully we can get something decent for Bball Paul. Hopefully Morey already has something lined up, because if we start shopping him now teams are gonna know that we kind of have to sell.

My normal worries with a guy like him. I don't think he's playable in the playoffs.

Still, his rebounding is gonna be useful and he's cheaper than Bball

It’s not only rebounding, he’s a very good passer which fits the offense they ran with Embiid last year. Bona for third string and matchups that don’t favor Drummond. Gonna miss BBall Paul but this makes a lot of sense.

Should've never left in the first place. That said, it's good that this sin has been corrected

Depends on the matchup I think. He’s toast against the Celtics but I can see him playing a productive 10 minutes against everyone else. Hopefully Bona develops by playoff time for matchups like Boston that will require more scheme versatility.

Very good move. Paul Reeds replacement.

If Mitchell Robinson can be used in the postseason, I think Drummond can too. It's like you said, you take the rebounding advantage that he gives you over the other stuff.

The best Embiid backup that we’ve ever had. Thank you Daryl Morey

I've longed for this day since the choice was him or hardens but trez. They should've just let harden walk then

A guy that can play like an offensive hub with Maxey. May even be a better passer than Joel, and a great dho partner for Maxey.

Sure, he could struggle in the pick and roll if they're stupid enough to switch it instead of just hedging or dropping, or zoning up

He's not a great defender in general and is pretty bad on space, he is gonna get pick and roll to death on the Playoffs.

Still i'll take my chances
