Toronto Raptors
The Raptors were one of the teams linked to Andre Drummond from the very beginning once the Cavaliers made him available on the trade block. The contract was a detriment at the time, as fitting a nearly $29 million player into a roster midseason is not an easy task.
Once a buyout was agreed to, Toronto remained in the hunt but ultimately missed out to the Lakers. Now that Drummond is a free agent, the Raptors should once again be active in their pursuit of the former UConn big man.
The raptors would be able to provide Drummond with playing time, as Aron Baynes has a team option for the 2021-22 season that is likely to be declined. Chris Boucher is the only other center currently under contract for the 2021-22 season.
Drummond and Boucher would make for an intriguing pairing for the Raptors, as one is a throwback, bruiser and the other is a perimeter orientated player.

Both players would give Nick Nurse a lot of options in the frontcourt, as they would be able to match up with virtually anything opposing teams throw at them.
