Are you dense? Seriously you want to know why we are in dire need for at least a serviceable PF? First, Tony Battie is coming off a serious shoulder injury and he might not be able to perform at the same level as before his injury. Second, I will agree that we had a good season with Lewis and Turk splitting time @ the 4 but, we cannot continue to pay Lewis a max contract and play him out of position and expect optimum output. Third, we have the BEST center in the association and we're not doing him any favors by not getting him any inside help. How long do you think Dwight can go on taking the beating that the other 29 teams will put on him in the paint for 82 games? Don't you want to protect the future of your franchise? How far will we go if he misses any games next season? Lastly, have you paid any attention to the trades that have been made by Eastern conference teams so far this off season or the draft? There has been a significant influx of young bigs full of potential and you can no longer say that we have the "best" front court. A lot of teams have made moves that bettered their front courts and if we stand pat on ours it will be a major step backwards. Did you see how the Pistons played Dwight in the playoffs? Based on your post, I guess not?
