He was always on the trading block, but nothing good was on the table until now.

"If there’s one thing I learned about the NBA, there’s no friends or loyalty. I’ve given my heart and soul to the Pistons , and to be have this happen with no heads up makes me realize even more that this is just a business! I love you Detroit..."


Detroit wasn't just going to let him walk for nothing. He said he was expecting loyalty from the franchise. But they had to get something back, even if its just two below avg bench players and a second round pick.

I quote Michael Corleone( after the hit attempt on his life): "See, Tom, all off our people are business men. Their loyalty is based on that."

Also, when Drummond opts out, the Cavs will get birds right for a potential sign and trade.


For Cleveland, it's pretty much a salary dump.
