With all the rumors of Andre potentially be one of Moreys targets, I think it's necessary to discuss how he could fit in. I personally think he would fit in well with our players and staff. You got Camby, still one of the best defensive C in the league. There aren't to many veteran bigs who would be a better influence . Also with Scola he would have guy to teah him a variety of post moves and craftyniss. Not to mention Kevin McHale would keep his new toy in the gym working with him. Andre is young, athletic and full of potential and would really strive early in his career in our up temp system where he would be able to run the floor and catch oops. This is a high risk pick, but you gotta love the reward you could get out of Drummond. What do you guys think?
Yep, take a shot, guy is a great athlete, and is long - could be an Adrew Bynum type in a few years. DD
Dwight doesn't want to come to Houston. No matter how much they like him, superstar players nowadays always choose where they want to be traded.
Draft him and keep him. Draft him and trade him for Dwight. I'm happy either way. Just trade up please...
I think the OP has hit the nail on the head. Drummond will be instructed by Camby for defence, Scola and McHale for offence. Put him in a situation that is positive and has good influences and you could have your next potential Camby/Bynum/Dwight. Drummond would be a good rim protector and his athletic ability can help defend the pick and roll as good as any big man in the league (with some training). Having a big that can do both well can be pretty hard to find. If all he costs us is Lowry and a draft pick, we completely win. A rookie scale contract for a athletic big that could turn into an all-star with some grooming, sign me up scottie!!! Dragic/Fortson Martin/Lee Parsons/Bud/Morris Scola/Patterson/DMo Drummond/Camby/Smith Great place to start from with plenty of options going forward.
We need to roll the diece this year we need a center. no more undersized PF or combo guard. ANDRE DRUMMOND or BUST. High Potential but also High risk sometimes you just gotta b**** slap Les and do your own thing
Trade up, yes. Draft Drummond, no. I feel Drummond might be a bust. If Bradley beal or Harrison Barnes if there, take them.
This is truly a unique case... he's a one-year rental and the team he "wants" to go to (maybe) doesn't exactly have great pieces to work with in a deal. Orlando isn't out to make Dwight happy here... if someone willing to rent him beats out the team Dwight "wants", I don't see why the Magic wouldn't go with the better deal. If Houston got Drummond in this draft, that is a hell of a lot better trade piece to a rebuilding team than a maxed out Brook Lopez.
A lot of people on a Magic board are saying not to send him to NJ out of spite. They also mentioned that Houston would be a good target and that our package right now is better than what the Nets can offer.

Worth the risk, might be a difference maker. Go for it. Really, just what we need. With McHale and Camby working with him, he could work out. He is no Thabeet, that is for sure. We don't need tall stiffs, Drummond is athletic.
