He'd still have a minuscule usage and be nothing more than a body to throw at opposing bigs. He has a use for them but he's not this savior that people seem to think he will be. Keep in mind he was like the 5th best big on a pretty bad Bucks team this year.
Only reason I brought it up was I heard people in the reg season thread bring up a hypothetical Bosh for Okafor and draft pick trade.
I suppose that might give the heat a better match up against the bulls, pacers, spurs. But is it really optimal to trade Bosh to matchup better against 3 teams?
If they were to face the thunder, clips in the finals I think they decrease their matchup advantage in the above proposal.
There may be options to help against those match ups than trading one your best offensive players.
In general i think a lot of people are overreacting to this playoffs.
