Peter, you are exactly right!  The Celtics need that big man, and if 
Knight or Pepper don't develop into what they need (they definitely have 
the potential), they'll have to acquire a big guy, but with the cap you
can only afford to go for the absolute best at one or two positions,
and in Pitino's style, you lay out money for the best quick mid-size
guys.  So the big man will have to be at best borderline all-star or
the C's can't afford him.
