Andre Drummond for Bouknight
Andre Drummond for Cam Thomas
I have to say, the idea of trading Drummond has crossed my mind several times. I really think we totally killed it with signing him with Embiids health issues. That said, to trade him would, imo, have to signal that we are not going for it all this year. I'm not sure we can afford to even send that signal if Embiid is still working hard. If he is out injured for the season by December, then yeah. I look to move Green / Drummond for growth pieces.
Is Bouknight any good? I'm just seeing bad Malik Monk... but i'm not a college guy so i have no idea.
Hmm..
How about this..
Lets say we get an attractive return for Ben. Let’s say Jaylen Brown.
I think getting Jaylen Brown allows you to play with Bassley or some cheap C as back-up with Jaylen being able to carry any 5 man units without Biid.
It can be Brogdon, and not Brown BTW. Where Brogdon can just play endless 2 man game with Niang or Tobi. Who knows.. maybe we can get Myles Turner in the mix or Time lord.
Regarding Bouknight, he’s not that good right now but he has good foundational skills that is value in the league and what we’re trying to run on our offense. He’s not good right now but he is very likely to be much improved next year onwards. Im talking about way better than Maxey.
