76ers may gift Heat perfect backup center option behind Bam Adebayo

The Miami Heat have been linked to other backup centers recently, but there may not be a better hypothetical option for the team than Andre Drummond. Even though he's still on a roster at the moment, there's a chance the Philadelphia 76ers can hand him on a silver platter to the Heat.

If the recent rumors are any indication, the Sixers could be exploring the idea of trading Drummond in an attempt to make room to sign Quentin Grimes, who remains a restricted free agent at the moment.

If the Sixers were to salary dump Drummond to another team, perhaps one like the Brooklyn Nets (who have the cap space to absorb a potential contract), it would probably almost certainly end in a buyout at some point later this season.
