I hated the idea of Drummond for a couple of reasons.
He will clog the lane for Luka drives, he can not guard perimeter players and will not work well defensively with KP as both playing at the same time is a disaster on defense against good shooting teams.
But the thing is.. the Mavs can't rebound nor put a body on physical players like Trez, Cousins, Jokic and even Gobert. Drummond at the very least will not be bullied. And if you score againt him, he can get it right back at you.
And we all know KP is going to miss games. So there would be times when Drummond is paired with Maxi, which I think is an ideal pairing.
KP, Drummond and Maxi. That should be the core front court. Unles the Mavs can get Aaron Gordon or John Collins. Which probably wont happen.
