I agree the defense would be stacked, but to me it's all net gain/loss. I think the defense was amazing last year and Gasol while not better than Tim at post defense does OK in that regard so I don't know if the defense would take a big step back. The offense, to me, would have the chance to step way forward though.
I wouldn't be mad at Ian at all. He's not "young" but younger than Gasol and you can fill other needs (scoring) next year easier than getting a good defensive C probably too. I see the appeal, but I do think SA needs offense more too. Especially at guard with TP/Manu/DG all limited scorers now and DG role not to "score".
