In what was arguably the most depressing stroke of deadline day, the Cavaliers acquired Andre Drummond from the Pistons in exchange for Brandon Knight, John Henson, and a 2023 second-round pick, according to multiple reports. Drummond, a two-time all-star on track to lead the league in rebounds for the third straight season, holds a player option for 2020 that he had been expected to decline in the interest of testing free agency. The rebuilding Cavaliers bring him in at minimal cost, with Knight and Henson both on expiring contracts, and the value of the ‘23 second relatively minimal.
