Marc Stein‏ @ESPNSteinLine
Andre Drummond is beloved by Pistons ownership, but Detroit is unexpectedly fielding offers on Drummond and KCP -->

Update

One league source told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne that the Portland Trail Blazers called to inquire about Drummond but quickly abandoned their interest when Detroit asked for Blazers guard C.J. McCollum in return. The Blazers, sources told Shelburne, regard McCollum as an untouchable. – via ESPN

I feel like at 2 PM tomorrow, we will hear the same thing for every single player.

PG13, Butler, Bogut, Tucker, George, Gallinari, KCP, EVERYONE.

Should be an insane first half of the day tomorrow  :laugh:

I wonder what the price is for KCP.

He really has no fit here, but I love him as a player.

After hearing this I decided to watch highlights of KCP.  2 things I noticed.

1.  KCP D is pretty solid ( good fit )

2.  KCP gets to the hole a lot with Andre on the floor.  Drummond is not as much of a clog like everyone thinks.

With that being said.... Can a Bkn pick get both these guys.

The Nets or Sixers are making KCP a max offer this summer. SVG seeing if he can get value before that happens.

I have the day off work, not that CB wouldn't be minimized on my tray if I was there.   ;)

This trade with 17  pick (top 3 protected ) and clipper 1st.

If they don't get the 17 pick....they get the 18.

KCP also tends to score well against Boston, but not so much against anyone else. :P

Really seems like these continued reported leaks of Drummond being available are a ploy to get someone like Danny to finally come to the table.

It'll be interesting to see if anything goes down with Danny tomorrow.

We've been building up for this day..

From the "Boogie Watch" Threads, to Butler Watch, etc.  :laugh:

I think we end up with PJ Tucker or Bogut though (or Terrence Jones).

The Drummond-McCollum rumor makes no sense, or implies that the Pistons don't have anyone dedicated to understanding the cap.

McCollum signed a $106 million extension.  If he's traded, he counts only his current year salary for the Blazers in calculating how much they're allowed to take back -- so 50% more than his $3.4 million salary, or about $5 million.  Drummond makes over $22 million.  For the Pistons, McCollum counts as the average of this year plus all the years of the extension, or just under $22 million.  So one of two things is true with this rumor:

1) The Pistons don't know this salary cap rule.
2) They never asked for McCollum.

TP - I was going to say the same thing. If you are a Cs fan who only watches Cs games, the question shouldn't be Butler or George, it should be Butler, George, OR KCP!

For the love of all that is holy, given our horrible rebounding and interior defense, if Drummond is even remotely available for a decent offer, pick up dang phone. This is getting ridiculous..
