Harrell say hi


Harrel took a discount to sign with a contender for the full MLE. Drummond is making the league minimum. That's a pretty big gap.

He's a stat padder.

We saw him in a starting role for a contender last year. It wasn't pretty.

No way he'd start for the Hornets.

that just showed hes not elite max worthy 35mil worth. theres a fine line between vet min and max.
why cant teams with no quality big just offer mle for 4 yrs and contend while maxing 3 wings?

Honestly he's just awful cause he doesn't stick to his role. He can still hurt you at any price trying to force up dumb shots and no defense.

I think he is a modern day Roy Hibbert. Can be good on D when motivated but fancies himself as more than that.

I was amazed he didn't come to the raps last year, people just thought he'd go the the "obvious" candidate in LA. Well how did that work out? Meanwhile raps resigned a guy they got off the heap for 3/20.

He can put up raw stats but he's not a winner. If LeBron and co weren't able to get much out of him, nobody will.

He wouldn’t start for the Raptors


He would definitely be our primary backup though.

Because he's a net negative if you're not feeding him the ball. His low iq puts him in his teammates way clogging the paint offensively, and defensively his rotations are always late. If you have 3 elite wings Drummond the last center you want as a contender

He'd definitely start for us. Our rebounding and interior defense is pathetically bad on most nights.

I thought you meant Birch would start while Drummond came off the bench. Precious is a G League player currently lol.

Pascal is not a starting center regardless of how much Nurse wants to use him there.

I agree but he would still start at center even if we had Drummond on the roster tho

Blows my mind that Philly gets a motivated age 28 Andre Drummond for the vet minimum.


"Motivated"

That doesn't matter with him. Whether he's motivated or not is irrelevant. He has the bball IQ of a sock.

He's making a minimum for a reason.

He's probably the dumbest skilled big in the league. I could go on, but it's just too much. He literally doesn't know how to contribute to winning and I'll leave it at that.
