I wouldn't want the player I saw last night, that's for sure. But there are rumors he was taking Pepto on the bench and today he's out with a belly ache. So maybe he was just sick.
The owner in Detroit says great things about Drummond, FWIW.
On the money, I said earlier I'd be surprised if the Mavs spent that much on a big but it's really a sunk cost at this point. The Mavs are paying Lee & JJB to warm the bench, so if a deal turns out to be Powell + Lee + Brunson the Mavs are really upgrading two positions. Drummond is an upgrade over Powell and JJ Barea is an upgrade over Brunson (assuming Brunson would only get limited backup minutes at PG in DAL) simply because JJB has more experience and he can be fantastic off-ball (see Championship year).
