This is not good. Allen and Drummonds skills are pretty similar so I don't know why Allen is playing in the closing minutes Because Allen is a better FT shooter? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Austin_Rivers 111 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Fool me once shame on me but fool me twice, shame on you. What did you guys think was going to happen? People already forgot about the Drummond/Thompson timeshare and now he's gonna have a timeshare with Allen. It won't always be Allen closing but this is not going to be a good impact towards both their values. Drummond goes from top 15 to top 60 at best. While Allen goes from top 40 to top 80 at best. Worst part is they're content with keeping both of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedDogNamedClippers 2,317 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Also keep in mind this is JA’s revenge game against his former team that just traded him away a week ago. Could just be these two games where they play him and when Brooklyn goes small with Green/KD. Against the Lakers and Boston my guess is Drummond will close on AD and Tristan Thompson.

Allen is not shooting 90% on the line. He was 60% last year and 75 this year less attempts. Defense is why hes out there not because of his free throws 😆 Edited January 21 by Brown_Mamba 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob0403 1,112 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Lol this game just won't end. And Drummond is just sitting there on the bench. Where is the forum guy saying he was the best defender in the NBA or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly!! Where are you gonna find something remotely close to Drummond's upside? 50 cents on the dollar LMAO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Austin_Rivers 111 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Might be a stretch but id aggressively offer Drummond and a top 75-100 guy for like any center that was close to Drummonds previous value. For example: Gobert, Capela, Turner, etc. You never know til you try 😅 Coming from the guy that trades every other day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MWon 1,691 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Eh, y'all can do what you want. I'm gonna hold. It's obviously not an ideal situation and I can't see this NOT becoming a timeshare. But I can really see the Cavs playing a huge lineup too for some spots. As I said before, they did a Osman/Nance/Javale/Drummond lineup for some stretches when Sexton was out, so it's possible they try that as long as JA proves he can shoot a bit. I'm a bit more worried Garland returns and messes that up, of course. I'm gonna echo some of you and also say tonight's game is partly JA getting some revenge and also being more mobile against the "small" (or C-less) lineup the Nets look like they're aiming to run. It was definitely a bummer not to see Drummond out there more during a 2OT game, but I'm also not gonna overreact to one game either, nor panic sell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ez2do4now 112 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Pretty sure Jarett Allen got more min because he was facing the Nets. It's pretty much a given for all players to extract some revenge on their former teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob0403 1,112 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 As predicted, we are seeing the double C lineups already as the Cavs try to salvage trade value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neither guy is fast enough to guard a PF or stretch the floor which is why when Kevin Love comes back hes going to play a lot to either help them make the playoffs or up his trade value. And when theres a screen to switch defender so Jarrett Allen has to guard a SF or Guard? yeah good luck. Edited January 25 by Johnnyapplebot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob0403 1,112 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I am kinda thinking Drummond or Allen is a buy low sometime between two weeks from now and the trade deadline. I don't know though: 1) If trade will definitely happen. 2) Which team actually needs a Drummond? 3) What's Drummonds new stats on the team? The floor is unknown now for this guy.

Yeah Drummond is just a center that was born too late because this is not his era. His style of play like like looking at the dinosaur era and I dont think a team can win a championship with an old school center like Drummond. Whose gonna pay him? I dont see any championship caliber team paying him max dollars so hes going to have to go to a bad team if he wants that money. On a bad team who just wants to sell tickets, his stats will be his stats. I think he knows he rather be on a bad team and get paid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbross 0 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just traded Drummond for Turner straight up. Might not work in my favor if Drummond gets traded but it looks like the Cavs intend on keeping him for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
