Gina Mizell: Howdy from Sixers shootaround, where I just asked Andre Drummond about Joel Embiid sustaining another injury (oblique strain this time) “I want to wrap him in a bubble sheet and give him a hug, man. I just feel like he can’t get a break.”

At shootaround on Monday morning inside Saint Monica Prep's gym, Drummond sat down with Sixers Wire about how he deals with the trade deadline and the uncertainty of it all. "(Expletive), at least they’re talking about you!" Drummond told Sixers Wire. "Somebody wants you. I’ve kinda made this time of the year more fun than taxing. I know it’s a lot for people to deal with having their name brought up and trade rumors and this and that and the third. So, for me, I make it fun like, listen, at least somebody wants me."

"I love being here in Philly," he said succinctly. "I wanna make sure that’s on the record. I love being here in Philly, but that’s the business. (Expletive) does happen and you gotta stay professional and be ready for whatever to come."

Drummond has been moved at the deadline before. He was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers at the 2020 deadline after his time with the Detroit Pistons and the Sixers sent him to the Brooklyn Nets at the 2022 deadline in the James Harden deal. So, he knows all about the business and how tough it can be. "It’s difficult and it’s a quick change, too," he explained. "It can happen really fast. You move to the next city and you’re kinda going right to (the team that acquired you) so, I think it’s just a lot. You gotta uproot your whole family, if you have families. You have situations going on out there. It just changes in an instance. So, just being prepared for that and whatever comes with it."

But league sources have said the Sixers are willing to trade Andre Drummond, and that could create a void as the reserve center is the team’s leading rebounder. “We’ve been ducking the tax the last couple of years,” Embiid said. “So hopefully we keep the same team. I love all of the guys that are here. I think we got a shot. “I don’t know what [the front office is] going to do. But I hope that we get a chance to go out there and compete because we got a good group of guys in this locker room, and the vibes are great.”

However, sources around the league say the team is willing to part ways with Drummond. At first glance, it’s hard to imagine that the financial aspect will play a role at the trade deadline unless it’s someone like Eric Gordon. The reserve guard has played in only six games, with his last appearance coming Dec. 23 against the Brooklyn Nets.

Jorge Sierra: Andre Drummond is now a Top 30 rebounder in NBA history. ALSO: Nikola Vucevic passed David Robinson in rebounds. Brook Lopez moved ahead of Magic Johnson in scoring.
