We need a big.
We don't.
I agree. We should look for a wing that can shoot and defend. Pietrus would be great, but he wants more than we can give. I like our guard rotation, but if there's a big man out there that we really like, I'd have no problem getting him.
This, or more likely a perimeter player who can play both the 2 and the 3 position, and is better than Christmas. Probably not available right now on the market, so might as well stick with the kid.
Again, we cannot go into the season with just 1 guard taller than 6'3.
My view is that this season we are not in a position to fill out roster spots 12-15 with over the hill veterans -- but should keep 3 project players who can contribute in a pinch, and hope that some of them develops as a legitimate rotation player over the next couple of years.
