According to Kristian Winfield of New York Daily News, Andre Drummond suggested that it would have been foolish for the Nets to trade Nic Claxton at the deadline.

“If we’re all being honest, I’m only here (until) the rest of the season," Drummond said. "Who knows what’s gonna happen in the off-season? So they need a guy like (Nic).”

ANALYSIS: First things first, props to Drummond for being so candid. Not a lot of players would be open about the upcoming free agency. With that in mind, it's tough to see Drummond having that strong of a market this season. He originally signed with Philadelphia to be their backup. Does he really think he's rebuilt his value enough for more money and a bigger role? If so, he might be in for a surprise this summer.
