Knicks Trade Rumours: Talks of Pistons Andre Drummond being traded to the Knicks are more serious than expected

Reports suggest that since the NBA trade deadline might be nearing, the Knicks might fast track the process of acquiring Andre Drummond from the Pistons. However, the sources also claim that the 'serious' trade talks might not have a conclusion drawn from them. Pistons are also reportedly eager to trade Drummond since he will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Pistons can get a good deal for Drummond as the Knicks have neutral-value contracts and draft picks to offer a good deal.

The Knicks can also open up cap space and try and rope in Andre Drummond via free agency after the NBA 2019-20 season ends. That way, they will not have to give up an asset for Andre Drummond. It could also mean a better deal for Drummond itself. Andre Drummond's name could help the Knicks brand, as none of their current players have been NBA All-Stars. The New York Knicks are currently at an 11-29 win-loss record, while the Detroit Pistons are at 14-26. Andre Drummond is averaging at 17.6 points and 15.9 rebounds for the Pistons.
