Ahead of the NBA’s trade deadline on Thursday, Andre Drummond addressed the speculation that he could be on the move.
Around this time of year, countless players are brought up as potential trade candidates. Some get traded, others don’t. This year, Drummond is among those rumored to be dealt prior to Thursday’s deadline. On Tuesday, the Pistons big man added a little fuel to the fire with this tweet. Drummond also has a profile picture, one of him walking off the court with his hand raised in the air, as if to say goodbye.
It could be Drummond just having a little fun. Or, it might not be. Whatever the case, Drummond was asked about the rumors and his new photo. You can hear his responses in the video below.

It’s obvious Drummond is not here for your speculation and questions. Unfortunately, those things are part of being a professional athlete.
Not too long ago, it seemed Drummond was going to be the cornerstone of the Pistons franchise for years to come. That doesn’t appear to be quite the certainty anymore, especially if you believe this report.
