Bulls Hold Onto Andre Drummond Despite Reported Interest From 76ers

In this story:
The NBA trade deadline proved to be quite the busy day for teams around the league, as it usually does, with the Philadelphia 76ers being included in upwards of four moves.
While the Sixers landed two new players, with the likes of Buddy Hield and Cameron Payne making their way into the City of Brotherly Love, they missed out on a reunion with former Center Andre Drummond.
The decision by the Chicago Bulls to hold onto the 30-year-old comes after reported interest from the Sixers, among other teams.
It was reported earlier in the week by Yahoo Sports Jake Fischer that the Bulls had set a price tag of 'multiple second-round picks' for the former 76er.
Drummond has had quite an efficient first half of the season in Chicago, recording eight points and eight rebounds in only 16 minutes per game.
With Drummond, who was seen to be a potential fix for the extended absence of Joel Embiid, not making his way to Philadelphia, they'll continue to cycle through Paul Reed and Mo Bamba for the time being.
