Miami Heat Receive: Andre Drummond

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: Kelly Olynyk, Andre Igoudala, 2022 2nd Round Pick (via PHI or DEN — less favorable)

The Miami Heat already have a favorable frontcourt with Bam Adebayo leading the way. If they were to add Drummond, it would take them to the next level. Miami has some assets that they would be able to send Cleveland but they would not have to because of Drummond’s current situation.

Veteran players like Kelly Olynyk and Andre Igoudala would be sent to Cleveland. They are short-term options for the Cavaliers that they could let go of soon. They would also land a second-round pick in the future.

The trade value of Andre Drummond was already low when he was dealt to the Cavaliers at the NBA trade deadline last season. Now, he’s been outright benched, is on an expiring deal, and teams know Cleveland wants to move on from, so one can only imagine how low it’s gotten now.

Let’s take a look and see how this NBA trade deadline scenario centered around Andre Drummond would help both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat.
