Cavs, Andre Drummond to work towards buyout

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Andre Drummond are working towards a buyout that will make Drummond a free agent, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The Cavaliers traded for Drummond near the trade deadline last season, but couldn't find a suitor for him this year in a trade. He hasn't played for the Cavaliers since early February, and the team and Drummond made a mutual decision to remove him from team activities at that point. 

The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are thought to be the leading suitors for Drummond once he hits the open market.
