There is no other place besides maybe TOR that can offer Drummond the kind of role he'd have on the Nets.
He'd be able to get all of his numbers, and would barely have to create for himself. I could genuinely see him averaging close to 19/19 on the Nets. Then after he puts up big numbers and perhaps even show he can be on a team that can go deep in the playoffs, some team will undoubtedly toss big money. Maybe NYK.
I'm not arguing against you as I'm almost sure he'll go to a contender. I'm just working out my best pitch for the Mavs.
I think he could put up massive numbers in Dallas though. We can argue all we want about fit but this team doesn't rebound and once you have that skillset on the floor, you can overlook some of the defensive shortcomings that pairing him with KP might cause. We suck at defense anyway and at least with him you wouldn't be giving up two, three and four second chance attempts due to not securing defensive rebounds.
