I don't have the podcast link anymore where Donnie was interviewed right before the deadline and the topic about Drummond came up.
But over the last two season's you can you find specific quotes regarding Mavs and their feelings about Drummond and potential fit. Now if you feel they don't directly tie into him playing with KP then that's your stance and opinion we all have our own opinion's based on quotes and things we might have read or heard.
Here's a few I was able to dig up again
SI.com quotes from earlier this season
A year ago, the Mavs were connected to Drummond in NBA trade rumors. Those rumors were shot down by the Mavs, with one ‘high-ranking Mavs official’ telling the Dallas Morning News than Drummond just didn’t make sense for them.
The fit with Kristaps Porzingis, who played his best basketball last season when playing at center, is questionable for sure, but ask yourselves this question: After what you’ve seen through the preseason and the first two games of this Mavs regular season, would you rather rely on Dwight Powell or Andre Drummond as one of your most featured bigs?
Mavs’ trade deadline plans amid Andre Drummond talks
Contrary to what most pundits say, Rick Carlisle does not believe that the Dallas Mavericks should move heaven and earth to try and acquire Andre Drummond before the trade deadline next month.
On @1053thefan just now, Rick Carlisle said he doesn't see a big man/rebounder as a pressing trade-deadline pursuit, but "You know Mark and Donnie. These guys are gunslingers. They're riverboat gamblers, and they're ready to talk about anything that would get the team better."
