Do We Need Another Center?

OK, I, like everyone else has been clamoring for an upgrade at the 5 position, but as I look at our current roster, I am starting to wonder a bit. We currently have 2 PG (CJ and Dame), 3 SG (Wes, Will, Crabbe and even CJ), 2 SF (Nic N' Vic), 2 Centers (Leonard and Withey) and really only 1 PF (LA). Now assuming that we all agree that Joel will not be a reasonable backup at the 4 AND that Withey will make the squad and be able to contribute 10-15 min/game, our major deficit is a backup at the 4. Further, most teams do not have dominant centers, so it would probably be a waste of resources to carry 3 guys who could only play the 5 on our roster. Therefore, maybe our goal is another strong rebounder for the PF (who knows how to play team defense, hence not bringing JJ back), such as a Millsap orCarl Landryand let LA continue to play some time at the 5. This gives us more flexibility for different types f lineups. Since the PF can often be cheaper, would also allow us to get more depth (say Landry and Reke) THoughts?
