I think we urgently need a defensive anchor

I've noticed you bring this up (a lot of this board does to be fair) and I get that we need more rim protection and rebounding most likely to ascend into contender status but what about our defense is making this such an urgent need?  We're currently a top 5 defense so I don't think this team needs much improvement on that end.  Also, how are we defining "anchor"?  Just someone who protects the rim?

To @"KillerLeft" 's point, we really need to make sure that we aren't sacrificing mobility and switchability on defense when upgrading our frontcourt.  Instead of bringing in a more classic rim protecting big, could we simply find a more offensive focused big who still brings the same mobility?  I do think Collins is a very strong option for that route if there was a package we could scrounge together.

How about a S&T of Bamba + Terrence Ross for THJ, Powell, and the '22 1st?

This feels like sooooo much for a big man who hasn't proved much.  Do you believe Bamba would bring more to this team than Powell has this year to the point that it's worth burning a first for him?
