Andre Drummond Cleveland Cavaliers move
Was Piston's Andre Drummond trade a blunder? According to an article published on CCN, it was a blunder. The American's era at Detroit Piston came to an end on Thursday following the club's decision to trade him for Brandon Knight, John Henson, and a 2023 second-round pick.
According to the author's views, Detroit Piston waved a white flag on the season by trading one of their most valuable assets. As much as the decision signals that they are ready to enter a ground-up rebuilt, flipping Drummond for an average return was not the way.
The athlete, on the other hand, took to Twitter to ventilate his frustration. He made it clear that in the NBA, there were no friends and loyalty. He felt that despite having given his whole heart and soul to Detroit Piston, trading him to Cleveland Cavalier without informing him was uncalled for.
