If our goal is to try to reach 0.500 that would be ok but this draft sounds really really good

It could work in a 3-way with the Sixers. Along with the usual baggage, Sixers would send a couple of draft FRPs to Cleveland.
But why not take the draft picks for ourselves? Drummond (without Lowry) is not going to put us in the Finals, or even the ECF.
Is Drummond even worth 1 first round pick?

Just to be clear, this proposal would send Lowry to the Sixers, crap and 2 FRPs to the Cavs, and Drummond to the Raps. Drummond's expiring may not be worth two FRPs, but Lowry is for a legit contender like the Sixers.

Yeah. I think I understand the proposal.
What I'm saying is, I don't think Cleveland should get anything more than the crap/filler and maybe a couple of our second round picks. It makes more sense if those first round picks go to the Raptors.

As I said above, I would rather deal with Sixers one-on-one, get the picks (and Maxey. if he really is obtainable), and not have to deal with the big hairy lug at all.

Maybe baynes plus norm plus some second round picks, agreed though, it would have been much better had we done it last year and used gasol. Wasted opportunity

He's just not that good especially as a starter. Maybe he can be a solid bench big in the future.
Gasol couldn't defend nor score on the Celtics, at least Drummond would have had the edge over Theis on the boards. Gasol literally gave us nothing and shot what felt like sub 25% during that series. He also didn't rack up any assists, was like two steps slow on help side d or provide rim protection either, so yea pretty much nothing.
Given how close we were to beating the celtics, I think Drummond would have pushed us over.

Yes. I don't want Drummond either. I was just pointing out that Drummond will not net the Cavaliers a first round pick and was explaining how the Raptors would probably still manage to get 2 first round picks (or something of equal value) from a trade involving Drummond to the Raptors.
Let's move on. Neither of us want Drummond on the Raptors. lol

Re: We should go after Drummond if we can get him reasonably
He probably only makes sense if they would give up multiple firsts for Siakam, and Toronto thought they could do better with the cap space. I can't see that happening, but I think that is the only way something like this would be possible. They are really solid at the guard spots with their young guys.

I don't agree with you but ok. Cool.
What's your trade proposal or plan? What's our path getting back to contender level?
I just don't see the point in getting Andre Drummond. What will that accomplish? How will acquiring him get us closer to contender level? Maybe I'm really narrow minded and am not seeing things clearly but to me, trading for Drummond is a Bryan Colangelo move.

That's actually an interesting idea that never crossed my mind. If the Raptors want to go for a 3 year rebuild, that move could pay dividends in the long run. I'd want 3 first round picks though.

If we want him then go I’d just wait for the offseason. No need to give stuff up and ruin this years tank.

Re: We should go after Drummond if we can get him reasonably
Cavs traded Brandon Knight and John Henson and a 2nd rounder for Drummond. No way would I give up a 1st round pick for him. Nor would anyone else likely.
Especially since we have no guarantees of how good we will be so these picks could be good. Won’t be like when we were getting around 28th pick for a while.

during celtics series sure. but what if we hadnt matched up against the celtics, what if it were the 76ers, everything you have said about gasol would have applied to drummond vs embidd.
or the bucks can drummond handle the defensive scheme vs giannis.

Re: We should go after Drummond if we can get him reasonably
How about hell no.
We should be looking at young assets that we can keep long term to build around. Drummond isn't good enough to be a game changer in the short term and he certainly not a long term option.

Drummond sucks so I’m all in favour for the purposes of the tank.

Re: We should go after Drummond if we can get him reasonably
We are already tanking with Lowry - not sure a trade for Drummond make things better for the tank or for wins

He has a 48 TS% from the C position this year. If you put me in the NBA right now, I think I could beat that.
