Players like Drummomd & Allen are not needed in today's NBA.

Remember when McGee was on the Lakers?Unless they are on the Cavs...

LOL.
@WiggyRuss are you on crack?
Allen has a jumper and is fast enough to switchAnd per Wiggy....

Allen fits the Cavs style more and he doesn’t need the ball in his hands. He is already an elite defender and they will pay him half as much as Drummond. He was playing late in the 4th and OT in this one. Drummond is long gone and it’s nothing against him, he is a hell of a player just doesn’t fit in the Cavs long-tern plansAllen has a jumper and is fast enough to switch
Drummond's stats are insane- and hes taken the Cavs from a terrible defense to the #2 rated defense in the league right now---- but i totally agree he isnt worth much on the trade market- and i hope the Cavs dont overpay him. If they could get a first rounder around the early 20's id trade him tomorrow and let Allen take over.
My take (most might not agree): they should trade Kyrie for more depth,

Shaq's a bit of a reach.....he'd be an absolute beast, nobody would be able to stop him.To be fair, while the statement is typical Wiggy "he who yells the loudest, wins" hyperbole, they aren't. At least not in the way they used to be. Dwight and McGee showed last year and Drummond is showing this year, they are still useful. You just aren't building your team around them like back in the day.
Even a monster like Shaq would be a bit limited today.

He can't defend out to the 3 point line, even in his prime, the pick and roll was his kryptonite and he has no range beyond 5 feet from the hoop.
He'd still be a star because he was a monster. But he would have a much harder time vs. todays bigs than he did with the bigs of his era.
Lets introduce everyone to the next TT EXCEPT he is a better rim protector, has a better offensive skillset, more talented and skilled and he is more athletic with a longer reach...only scratched the surface too. He knocked down his only mid-range shot last night. If he gets a decent jumpshot I can’t imagine the ceiling of that kid#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff on going Allen over Drummond late “Decisions come down to in that moment & what I think is the best move for the group. I thought Jarrett was playing really well with the way he was protecting the paint & the way he was rebounding & his ability to switch

the best big man in the Eastern Conference plays for the Indiana Pacers and his name is Domantas Sabonis. The second best big man in the East is Joel Embiid.
i think there is a group after those 2 that includes Collins, Adebayo, Drummond, ---Jarrett Allan is really good but not yet in that group.
my post from December 30th- where i had Allen- as a 22 year old getting limited playing time as the 6th best big in the East.
he has a legit jump shot too from everything i have readLets introduce everyone to the next TT EXCEPT he is a better rim protector, has a better offensive skillset, more talented and skilled and he is more athletic with a longer reach...only scratched the surface too.
