I am sure Mavs would be interested in signing Drummond for min salary. I am also sure there is no way he signs with Mavs
Looks like I am wrong. But it would take 4 or 5 other players to gather the salaries for Drummond...
From Shams reporting (he mentions Dallas interest if Drummond is bought out).
For the Raptors, a deal structure could include several contracts to reach Drummond’s $28.7 million salary this season, and it could involve multiple other teams. Such a deal could take a while to come together. The Raptors are currently starting Aron Baynes at center. While Toronto has expressed trade interest, several other teams, such as Brooklyn and Dallas, would have interest in Drummond via buyout, sources said. The Cavaliers have been in the postseason hunt in the Eastern Conference, so it is unclear how open the franchise would be toward a buyout after the trade deadline should the team be in the playoff hunt, but the franchise has certainly acknowledged Drummond’s likely desire to be on a contending team. A buyout is clearly not the preference.
Drummond, 27, will be a free agent after the season.
