Is it crazy to consider trading for Eric Gordon?

You wanna win, Mags? Tell them to focus on D.

You need a defensive center first. Need an anchor

So, our team is not expected to play good D until we have a defensive anchor?

Nope. Our defensive presence starts with a good center. There are some good defensive teams, but the great defensive teams usually have that anchor on defense. Kinda like Indiana and Chicago.

It helps but what center does Miami have? Who does SA have when Duncan is on the bench? They still play tough D without him.

Miami is an exception. San Antonio has a center. His name is Duncan. Take Duncan out and I bet they wouldn't be as good as there are.

Hopefully our players don't have that attitude.

Yeah but like I said they are a good defensive team without him. Centers are important, but it doesn't start with one, it starts with a solid defensive system and the coaches who implement it.
