Zo might be done... FAs for backup bigs?

I really thought Zo might be a good possible pickup for us as a back-up big man...
But I had no idea how bad Alonzo's injury was but it looks like he might be done at this point.

So who could we pick up to backup Bynum at C?
Do you think Mihm and Mbenga can do the job?
I know a lot of people have Gasol spelling Bynum at C from time to time. But it seems like guys have a hard time going from the more punishing C position to the more face-up PF position if asked to switch back and forth. It might be bad for Gasols face-up moves and jumper if we ask him to also bang down low on a regular basis. Especially if he does work on the PF position this summer...
So do we need to add a big or 2? Who do you see backing up Bynum at C or Gasol at PF with Turiaf potentially gone?
