Needs some work still for sure, but he’s come a long ways as a rebounder. He was pretty bad last year.

A part of the reason Oso isn’t a dominant rebounder is because he’s always being switched out to the perimeter.

They do want him. Their FO put that leak out there to try to lower the asking price.

He also boxes out the other teams best rebounder, which allows others to get the board

Adding him to DeRozan and Lavine would just be funny. What even is defense?

That's literally the same bullshit people always say about bad rebounders they like, as if Mark Williams isn't busy "boxing out" yet somehow Oso is the worlds greatest boxer outer

The math works... Would you do a Booker for Giannis straight up?

Isn't Giannis 3 or 4 years older than Book? If you get Giannis today, you have to have a path to the finals next year.

He's 31, Book is 29.

Even worse. It means Booker is almost cooked too. /s

For the record, I would trade Booker for Freak 11/10 times. Giannis and Green (assuming health is good) with the supporting cast is filthy.

Big assumption there, buddy!

Count me in on that. We already have the shooters, Giannis would add more size which we need. Ishbia would never do it for fear of the backlash he'd get from the fans trading the Suns son.

Agreed... Ishbia wouldn't ever do it, but also Bucks would never do it either; unless they found a 3 team for Book. It makes loads of sense for us because of the needs it fills for us.
