Andre Drummond 2015-16 Season Offensive & Defensive Compilation - MONSTER!
Remember last month when a Sports Illustrated writer suggested the Detroit Pistons trade Andre Drummond for DeMarcus Cousins?
Well, they apparently tried.
Basketball Insiders" Michael Scotto, citing unidentified sources, reported late Sunday the Pistons engaged the Sacramento Kings in trade talks that would have included Drummond for Cousins.
The revelation came out shortly before it was reported the Kings were trading Cousins, a three-time NBA All Star averaging 27.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Whether the Pistons remained in talks with Sacramento about Cousins is unclear, but the report seems to indicate Detroit is open to entertaining offers for drummond, their talented, 6-foot-11 center.
Of course, it was reported by ESPN on Friday the Pistons continue to gauge the trade value of Reggie Jackson.
Jackson"s name came up in a potential trade with the Orlando Magic, one that would reportedly send Detroit"s starting point guard south for D.J. Augustin and Jeff Green.
It was the second Jackson-related trade rumor reported by ESPN in recent months, including one -- Jackson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ricky Rubio -- that was publicly shot down by Pistons president-coach Stan Van Gundy.
AROUND THE NBA:The Vertical"s Adrian Wojnarowski, in a video published Sunday, reports the New York Knicks are no closer to convincing Carmelo Anthony to waive his no-trade clause.
... Wojnarowski reportsthe Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics, both playoff contenders in the East, are discussing a trade involving Jimmy Butler.
... The Indiana Pacers, in an effort to land help for Paul George, have made their 2017 first-round pick available, ESPN"s Chris Haynes reports.
... The Washington Wizards are seeking bench help, and are eyeing Los Angeles Lakers guard Lou Williams or Brooklyn"s Bojan Bogdanovic, Wojnarowki is reporting.
