Detroit Pistons veteran center Andre Drummond has been able to call the motor city his home for the last eight years. He was selected in the first round of the 2012 NBA draft by the team.
He’s grown into one of the better centers in the league. Right now he’s averaging 17.3 points and a league-best 15.6 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, those numbers haven’t mattered much when it comes to winning and losing.
The Pistons are just 17-31 on the season, meaning the team could be sellers at the trade deadline. That puts a guy like Drummond in a tough spot.
According to ESPN writer Eric Woodyard, he could be on the move. Here’s what he had to say:
“Detroit has been the only NBA city Drummond has called home. However, that might not be the case for much longer. The Pistons have talked about moving Drummond as the 2020 trade deadline approaches, potentially ending a love affair between an East Coast-raised star and his adopted Midwestern home.”

Drummond has a player option next year meaning that if the Pistons don’t trade him, he could end up walking away from the team at the end of the season.
Do you think it’s time for the team to cut ties?
