The Milwaukee Bucks addressed their big man depth by acquiring Serge Ibaka in a four-team deal at the NBA trade deadline. However, the Bucks certainly explored all avenues to address their frontcourt. According to the latest Bucks rumors, Milwaukee showed interest in this former Defensive Player of the Year, as noted by ESPN's Zach Lowe and RealGM.
The Milwaukee Bucks had approached Marc Gasol about returning to the NBA to sign with them as a late season addition, sources tell Zach Lowe of ESPN.
Per the latest Bucks rumors, Milwaukee approached former Defensive Player of the Year Marc Gasol. Of course, acquiring Serge Ibaka at the NBA trade deadline makes the addition of Gasol highly unlikely at this point, though it is interesting to speculate about.
Gasol, who is currently playing for CB Girona in Spain, last played in the NBA during the 2020-21 campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Bucks' rumored interest in the big man ahead of the NBA trade deadline makes sense, as he wouldn't have cost them any assets and- even at the age of 37- Gasol still showed the ability to stretch the floor and play solid defense down low, things Milwaukee has lacked with Brook Lopez battling back issues.
Bucks fans should be satisfied with the addition of Serge Ibaka, though it's interesting to think about a frontcourt rotation including Marc Gasol.
