Many people dragging the Bulls for not trading Drummond at the deadline. But this would have never happened if they did. pic.twitter.com/R35l5LhnPo – 7:19 PM

Said Andre Drummond would be the first Bulls domino to fall. He fell to Philly and plans to return there. No big surprise at all. His heart was always in Philly. Two-year deal. – 7:17 PM

Gonna zag on killing the Bulls for not getting a bunch of second-round picks for Andre Drummond when we all know they would’ve failed to do anything helpful with them anyway – 7:15 PM

Why trade Andre Drummond to the 76ers in February for draft capital, when you can let him walk there for free in July and save money not having to sign those picks? – 7:11 PM

Center is the one position Philly desperately needs a reliable backup. They’ve had success with Drummond in the past, he’s capable of scaling into a starting role on occasion, and the price here doesn’t really affect anything else they wanna do. I like the signing. – 7:08 PM

Last season, Andre Drummond was the first player since Rodman to average over half a rebound per minute in a season (minimum 1000 MIN).

Andre Drummond had a defensive rebounding rate of 31.8% and an offensive rebounding rate of 19.6% with Chicago this past season.
Both figures ranked on the 100th percentile for bigs last season. – 7:08 PM

The Sixers thought they had a trade for Andre Drummond back at February’s deadline. No surprise the veteran center is now nearing a two-year, $10-plus million deal with Philadelphia, league source confirms. @MikeAScotto first on the terms. – 7:07 PM

More on this storyline
In other Knicks free agency news, the team is expected to offer Isaiah Hartenstein the full four-year, $72 million maximum deal at their disposal to try and retain him in free agency, league sources told HoopsHype. Should New York lose Hartenstein in free agency to a higher offer elsewhere, several centers are on their radar as potential replacements, including free agents Goga Bitadze, Jonas Valanciunas, and Nick Richards, who would be a trade target, league sources told HoopsHype. There’s also an outside chance the Knicks make a run at Andre Drummond, sources said. -via HoopsHype / June 24, 2024
What remains to be seen, however, is what direction do the Bulls go? Do they prepare for DeMar DeRozan possibly leaving in free agency or if he does return — the more likely scenario — draft his heir apparent at the small forward position? Do they grab a big to replace the expected vacancy with Andre Drummond looking for a new team, as well as some youth to push starter Nikola Vucevic? -via Chicago Sun-Times / June 16, 2024
