I'm sure Drummond knew his days were numbered in Cleveland when the Cavs traded for Jarrett Allen.
I read that Allen was very surprised to be traded to the Cavs. But he should know that this is a friendly city with great sports fans (regardless of what Kyrie Irving thinks) who will be happy to have him. If he likes museums we have one of the best art museums in the US. We also have a world-famous orchestra, a nice lake with decent beaches, and a wonderful park system. We have a nice Asia Town, and a strong tradition of African-American and Eastern European cuisines.
I also read that Allen loved shopping at Whole Foods when he was in Brooklyn. There's a Whole Foods not far from where I live. I'm sure it will be easy to spot him there, with that glorious 'fro!

I don't know where you are in Cle but I spent decades working out of company offices in Beachwood and Solon (whole foods). Spent lots of time downtown at the Great Lakes Brewery. I enjoyed the whole region.
