The 76ers, I’m told, have indeed registered interest Chicago’s Andre Drummond, joining the likes of Boston and Dallas. Drummond is widely regarded as the Most Likely Bull To Be Traded this week after literally months of trade speculation in the Windy City. Philadelphia obviously has an immediate need for reinforcements on its frontline with Joel Embiid sidelined indefinitely by a meniscus injury in his left knee.

Andre Drummond anyone? That very well could be the only move the Bulls make by the Thursday NBA trade deadline …

Coby White on Andre Drummond: “He’s probably the strongest guy in the league.”
Also praised Vooch for adapting to the 4 so quickly after playing the 5 all season (and his whole career) for the Bulls. pic.twitter.com/1xXU8o78z6 – 12:10 AM

Andre Drummond is aware of the trade chatter that surrounds him right now. Said he can’t let it bother him at this point in his career: “I control what I can control, whatever jersey I put on.” pic.twitter.com/kDC97YhirO – 11:48 PM

Andre Drummond: 16 PTS 16 REB 4 BLKS … but on 7/13 FG, 2/4 FT, 4 fouls.
That’s pretty good for $3M. Just wonder how he’d fit on #Celtics. – 10:56 PM

Coby White and DeMar DeRozan score 33 points apiece.
Andre Drummond finishes with 16 points and 16 rebounds. – 10:54 PM

Vucevic and Drummond playing together. Pretty interesting wrinkle against the Wolves.
Wouldn’t mind Drummond in Denver. He and Jokic could do some stuff. – 10:38 PM

Andre Drummond has a double-double with 4 blocks.
If this is his last game as a Bull, he’s going out in his typically entertaining style. Drummond may do some head-scratching stuff at times but he’s been a value signing and certainly eventful to watch. – 9:28 PM

You can kinda tell the Wolves wings are a little caught off guard by Gobert not being there for help — especially whoever is guarding DeRozan on a given possession.
Drummond’s physicality and activity on the offensive glass is forcing Gobert to stay attached. – 8:45 PM

As the #Bulls try to match Minnesota’s twin centers, this is a good time to mention if Drummond departs in a trade, the Bulls’ second-tallest player will be a tie between two-ways Adama Sanogo and Henri Drell at 6-9. – 8:33 PM

Andre Drummond smacked away a shot by Anthony Edwards, but was called for a foul. Immediately begged the Bulls bench for a challenge.
After watching the replay on the big screen, Billy Donovan did indeed challenge the call. – 8:20 PM

More on this storyline
The Bulls are still drawing interest from multiple teams inquiring about Alex Caruso and Andre Drummond, league sources reiterated. But White, who signed what now is an extreme value deal this past offseason, has played his way into essential building block for whatever roster iteration comes next. -via NBC Sports Chicago / February 7, 2024
KC Johnson: Andre Drummond on teams calling Bulls on him: “I control what I can control. I’ve been doing this for 12 years. There’s nothing I can do about it. If (a trade) happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, great. Either way, I’m going to continue to come in and do my job on a daily basis.” -via Twitter @KCJHoop / February 7, 2024
Darnell Mayberry: Final (OT): Bulls 129, Timberwolves 123. The Bulls came back from a 23-point deficit in the third quarter. Coby White and DeMar DeRozan with 33 points apiece. Andre Drummond: 16 points, 16 boards. Anthony Edwards: 38 points. KAT: 33 points. Fun night at the United Center. -via Twitter @DarnellMayberry / February 6, 2024
