Solid defensive (but not GREAT) centres aren't too hard to find nowadays though. The Bucks have Henson, Plumlee and Monroe, pretty sure they'd be happy to part with 1 without giving up McCollum.
C.J McCollum available?

None of those players have anchored a solid defense in their lives.
I did say solid but not great.
I think you could argue rim protectors are the highest commodity in the NBA.
Yeah and I just said none of those players have been solid defensively. None of them are going to change defensive culture of the Blazers. They would need a Favors level defender to come in.
I think Plumlee is sufficient.
I think they need a PF scoring threat though. Their offense is too predictable, predicated around Lillard and McCollum. They need a 3rd dimension scoring threat down low.
Buck's Plumlee is a worse Plumlee than the Plumlee they already have, the Plumlee that is a part of the worst defense in the NBA.
I'm talking about the Plumlee they already have is sufficient.
I've moved on to talk about a low post scoring threat I think they need.
How he is sufficient if their defense is last in the NBA? Why do they need low post scoring when they already have a top scoring offense? I'm completely confused by your logic.

If they did it I think it would be to move into full rebuild... so it would be a couple high rated 1st rounders.
This isn't even a rumor though... 100 pure speculation. I'm not sure we are even a great fit.
