Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 3825913, member: 1329"] Drummond has already made 130 million. He likely wants to win (his team's won like 40% of their games with him, with 0 playoff wins), and also wants to sign a new, fat contract. Giving up a net of 3-5 million this year and getting him to a contender with a chance to impress teams in the playoffs may be worth it. If he pursues a big contract this offseason, he may not have a ton of suitors and may not get to prioritize going to a winner. So this may be one of his few chances to do so in his prime. The Cavs would do it because paying some is less than paying all. And because Jarrett Allen might be better than Drummond anyways so it doesn't cost much on the court. [/QUOTE]
