Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond has been very clear that he plans to opt-in to the final year of his contract this offseason, worth $28 million.
It’s a smart monetary decision on Drummond’s part. Back in 2016, he signed a five-year, $125 million deal with Detroit, which at the time made him the highest-paid Piston ever.
But it’s unclear if that type of money will be available to him this offseason, so Drummond can cash in by accepting the $28 million option, which now resides in Cleveland.
The question becomes whether the Cavs will keep Drummond once he opts-in to 2020-21.
Let’s take a look at five intriguing landing spots for Drummond, if the Cavs look to trade him this offseason.
