I keep hearing "we just need a big to defend and rebound". Bigs who can just do those things aren't as plentiful as some would think.

An insurance big would definitely come in handy. But how much insurance did Pierce provide last year?

I have a sneaky suspicion that the people in the "we have no bigs and the sky is falling" camp are the ones who whined about Grant's hiring from Day 1. Just a suspicion.
There's a saying in recruiting that it's never the guys you don't get that hurt you but the ones you DO get that just don't pan out or never amount. Can't offer out of haste. You're going to be stuck with those guys 4-5 years unless they transfer or simply don't hold up their end of the bargain...
