How about Myles Turner if the Bucks trade Giannis and rebuild?

I could see Brad being interested given how he has valued floor spacing bigs in the past.

However, I would be reluctant to give up much to put it lightly. Turner is a horrendous rebounder for a 7 footer as he has demonstrated in the finals and is now about to turn 30 and being overpaid for the next 4 years.

Simons, Minott and a heavily protected first is probably the most I would be willing to give up.

I feel like they've had every opportunity to trade for Turner over the years and decided against it. And yeah, he's just not a good rebounder. He's only averaging 6 a game now even when Giannis is out, and even the last game against the C's he had 4 points and 3 rebounds in 28 minutes.

Idk if it's the system or just regression but he's been mediocre this season.

In fairness the same kind of holds true with Vucevic too, they've had ample chances to acquire him and decided against it. Claxton and Zubac though seem like guys they'd be interested in, or even Day'Ron Sharpe like @tonydelk said. It does seem BKN and BOS are destined to trade with each other or with BKN as the 3rd team to help facilitate because of their cap space.

If you can flip Simons in a trade and get back Sharpe + a depth guard while saving some money, I'd be pleased. My *dream* though is Zubac, he'd just be perfect in so many ways including the age and timeline.

I think Turner is slowing down.  He looked ineffective in the playoffs and even worse this year.  I don't think he'll last through the team's next phase.  I prefer Minot as a player to Turner.
