We talk about that every season as if there will be several to choose from. There never are. We currently have 2-3 adequate players that now fit that bill, and I would argue that interior defense and rim protection really trumps all our other needs at present. And the availability of that type of player never seems out of reach. Like you, I don't think Drummond or Olynyk fit the team's profile all that well, but I think a defensive, rebounding big man is absolutely needed. I also think there may be more options for that than any wing player who is capable of being a difference maker.
The difference is that we will actually have the assets to make something possible this coming offseason. In the past it has always been dumpster diving. This coming offseason we will have three firsts, young players and perfect sized expiring contracts to make such a deal.
