Koby Altman: Andre Drummond is a player we’ve always coveted

The Cavs sent Brandon Knight and John Henson plus a future second-round pick to the Pistons in return for Drummond

Cavs gm Koby Altman talks with Cleveland.com about the Andre Drummond trade:

“This is a player we’ve always coveted,” Altman said during a conference call with reporters on Friday morning. “He just gives us a dimension we haven’t had in quite some time. We just thought it was an unbelievable opportunity for our franchise and for our players to play alongside Andre. I think everyone is pretty excited to welcome him with open arms and looking forward to having a fun 30 games to end the season here.
Adding a talent of this magnitude is something that we couldn’t pass up and he also fits our timeline in terms of his age — he’s 26 years old — so he fits with some of our younger guys”

This year Drummond has played 49 games, with averages of 17.8 points,  an NBA-leading 15.8 rebounds, plus 2.8 assist, 2 steals and 1.6 blocks.
