I wouldn't call Bosh a shutdown defender but he does play defense. If I surrounded those two with the right guys it could win a championship.
That, and because Pau's salary was unattractive. He was the 6th highest paid player in the league behind Kobe, Lewis, Duncan, KG, and Redd. He's worth the price for sure, but he's just not as good of a value as some of the guys picked ahead of him. Also, centers are typically overpaid and Marc gives the same production for about 10 million less than any other center of his quality.
