A team that would be interested in Bynum would probably need help in the rebounding department. Well, last time I checked, the Thunder rank first in the NBA in rebounds per game. Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka each average over eight boards a night. Point guard Russell Westbrook garners six boards per contest. OKC has been using the “center by committee” method and both Steven Adams and Kendrick Perkins average over four rebounds per game. So, its safe to say the Thunder don’t need rebounding help.
