One player later said the problem was that Drummond did exactly what he thought he was supposed to do and Cheeks didnt understand that it was a product of miscommunication, not defiance.

Drummond and Gores communicate every couple of weeks about things, the player said, and seeing the franchise player unhappy probably didnt go over well with the owner. Within a couple of days, Gores was in southeast Michigan, and the process of dismissal began to take shape.

i guess it's a good sign that hes talking to gores and gores is willing to listen.

its actually very pleasing to read something like this. really make you realize hes stepping up and wants to be the franchise guy, thats something greg monroe never has done.

maybe he can start giving input on players too, because he wont want to be here too much longer if the roster stays a mess.

also make you wonder what he and the other players think of dumars.
