CLEVELAND — Sabik na si Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman na tanggapin sa kanilang koponan si two-time All-Star Andre Drummond.
Sa inaasahang paggamit ni Drummond sa kanyang hawak na player option, sinabi ni Altman na regular ang kanilang pag-uusap para sa paglipat ng rebounding leader sa Cleveland.
Ibinigay ng Cavaliers sina guard Brandon Knight, forward John Henson at ang 2023 second-round picks nila ng Golden State Warriors para mahugot si Drummond mula sa Detroit Pistons.
Mayroon siyang $28.75 million player option para sa 2020-21 season na maaari niyang iwanan para maging isang free agent sa offseason.
“For us, I think in terms of his age and what he brings to our team, absolutely we consider him a potential long-term play,” wika ni Altman sa isang conference call. “Obviously he has a player option that, if he picks up, we think we’re in good shape in terms of our cap space. There’s no better money spent than Andre Drummond if he does pick up his player option.”
