Preview: Golden State’s lack of interest in Drummond is another example of taking the long view (tanking)

Andre Drummond is the NBA’s leading rebounder, but don’t expect the Warriors to have much interest. This is the essence of tanking.

We can quibble over the specific definition of the word, but tanking or not, Golden State is taking the long view and their non-pursuit of Drummond is a perfect example of why it makes sense.

In another time, many fans would be thinking up convoluted trade scenarios to bring Drummond to the Warriors. But not now. And that’s ok. This isn’t a franchise that’s trying to just make the playoffs this season.
