Report: Boston Celtics among several teams that made serious offers for Andre Drummond
It appears that the Boston Celtics entertained the idea of trading for Andre Drummond, a veteran center from the Chicago Bulls, but ultimately opted for a different route during the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline. Instead, they chose to acquire Xavier Tillman Sr. from the Memphis Grizzlies, trading Lamar Stevens and a couple of second-round picks in the process.
According to reports by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Bulls were seeking three second-round picks to finalize the deal for Drummond, which likely deterred the Celtics, given their pending deal for Tillman.
While Drummond is considered a superior player, some argue that his skill set overlaps with that of Neemias Queta on the Celtics’ roster, who has potential for growth. On the other hand, Tillman, at 25 years old, presents a younger option with an expiring contract and Bird rights, offering flexibility for the Celtics in future seasons constrained by salary cap issues
