Situation was different in that Brooklyn bought him out with multiple years left and Dallas made up the rest of the buyout. When that timeframe was up, he got more than the MLE.
Okay so that's like one situation where we see a guy make okay money after a buyout but he wasn't breaking the bank:

Drummond might be in sort of a unique situation but I still would be surprised if he gets over MLE honestly. Montrezl Harrell only got a 1 yr MLE deal. A year or two ago we would have thought he would have gotten a massive deal. I only bring up Harrell bc he is a big man with limitations but can score and rebound.
