The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired a very young and promising center in Jarrett Allen in the four-team blockbuster deal that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets. After nearly a month after his arrival with the team, it was mutually agreed between Andre Drummond/his camp and the Cavs that Drummond would sit in his remaining time with Cleveland until he was traded, or perhaps eventually bought out.
Factoring into that agreement was that Cleveland was committed to Allen becoming their starting center, and it appears he’s their long-term answer at the position.
