They desperately need him and he desperately wants to showcase himself. Don't think the Mavs are even his 2nd or 3rd option, no matter how needed his rebounding is.
I think if I'm the Mavs I'm eyeing a Blake Griffin buyout and hope he has something left. He can serve as a good creator/shooter big man for the 2nd unit. And can flex as a starter in place of Maxi.
It'd be a nice influx of talent too, since we're not even 2 years away from Griffin making an All-NBA team. This is all assuming he has anything left, which there's a solid chance he doesn't. But like I said before, even Griffin at his worst is better than whatever Wes Iwundu is giving us right now.
That's basically what I'm saying, if you want a look at Drummond this year, you need to trade for him as I think he'd run to the Lakers or Nets if he gets bought out. I wouldn't mind trying to recruit Blake if he gets bought out, but I think you might run into a similar situation. I also don't think trading for one eliminates the potential of chasing the other if they get bought out.
