Drummond recently said that there are no doubts he wants to stay in Detroit when asked by the media to address the trade rumors.

“I’m not a quitter, for one,” Drummond said after Pistons’ 111-104 win over the Golden State Warriors. “I was never brought up to be a quitter. If I start somewhere, I try to finish there, try to complete the mission, which is to win a championship here. It will never be me that wants to go anywhere … I love being here. I would love to play here the rest of my career.”

This is a bit different from Drummond’s comments in the past when he said that he is looking forward to free agency and would like to explore his options. Such statements and the 26-year-old’s unwillingness to openly commit to Pistons made the organization cautious about losing the player for nothing in the free agency. Drummond has a $28 million contract option on his deal for 2019/20, which he can reject and become an unrestricted free agent.

Pistons’ asking price for Andre Drummond is still unknown but the rumors are that the team is looking for picks, expiring contracts and maybe a quality rotational player. Despite possibly being in the final year of his deal, Drummond could still get a team to check all those boxes in a trade offer. He is currently averaging 17.6 points, 15.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.

“I’m a free agent next summer,” – Drummond said after a reporter brought up his contract situation.

The 26-year-old All-Star also shared that he is excited about this opportunity.

“Yeah, it should be fun,” – he added. “I’m excited. I think I’m the only one that has a big contract coming up for the year.”

The free agency comments caused quite big confusion among Pistons’ fans, so Drummond later decided to clarify them on Instagram. He said that he is excited to go through the process of being a free agent since he never been one, but that this doesn’t mean he is thinking about leaving Detroit.

Since 2020 class of free agents will be one of the weaker ones in recent years, Andre Drummond could stand out as one of the marquee targets for many teams if he puts up a productive season. Drummond averaged a career-high 17.3 points per game last season while also leading the league in rebounds with 15.6.
