"If the Sixers were to salary dump Drummond to another team, perhaps one like the Brooklyn Nets (who have the cap space to absorb a potential contract), it would probably almost certainly end in a buyout at some point later this season. Considering the Heat will keep their 15th roster spot open for the time being, if the timing does match up in a few months, a buyout of Drummond could help give the Heat their answer behind Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware"
"On paper, he does seem like the exact type of center they need off their bench. Even though he may no longer be in the prime of his career, he's still a force in the middle and has some rim-protecting ability left in the tank. It's also easy to forget that Drummond is still just 32 years old. Drummond has bounced all around the league over the last few years,"
The Miami Heat have been linked to acquiring Andre Drummond as a backup center to complement Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware. The Philadelphia 76ers could trade or salary-dump Drummond to free cap space to sign restricted free agent Quentin Grimes, potentially routing the contract through a cap-clearing team like the Brooklyn Nets before a buyout. A subsequent buyout would allow Drummond to sign with the Heat, who are keeping their 15th roster spot open. Drummond, age 32, averaged seven points and eight rebounds as a backup for Joel Embiid last season and offers interior presence and rim protection.
