I guess I’m in the minority, but I don’t expect Drummond to get another good contract. I think the MLE is the absolute best he can hope for, moving forward. He isn’t a very good player. Didn’t seem like good teams wanted him the last time around, even. 

We’ll see.

I mean today, yes, Drummond seems like an MLE player at best. But what if Drummond goes to a contender, plays starter minutes, averages an absurd statline (something in the realm of 17ppg/18rpg, which is actually doable for him), and then also goes on a deep playoff run?

Drummond would have proved all his doubters wrong that he can be a starter on a good team and can be played in the playoffs. 

I can see a team throwing 20+ a year at him for that alone. 

On the other hand its very possible Drummond goes to the Nets, averages an absurd statline, but his limitations get the best of him in the playoffs and the Nets get an early exit. And in that scenario I can see Drummond only getting an MLE at best.
